----------------------------------

    Attachment: AVRO-993.patch

Here's a patch for GenericDatumReader that adds the three missing methods back in with a deprecation warning.  Internally they invoke the same methods on GenericData.

> As part of AVRO-839 three methods were moved from GenericDatumReader to GenericData:
> * newRecord(Object, Schema)
> * createFixed(Object old, Schema schema)
> * createFixed(Object, byte[], Schema)
> Although their visibility is protected, they are part of the public API because GenericDatumReader is public.  Therefore these methods should have been deprecated before being removed.  The removal of these methods caused PIG-2463.
