> When you call hashCode on an Avro Record with unitialized fields the method throws a NullPointerException.  This is especially troublesome if you are trying to instantiate an object from an interactive console (like scala), as this makes it impossible to create records.  Here is an example, where KVPair is defined as follows:
> {noformat}
> {
> 	"namespace": "edu.berkeley.cs.scads",
> 	"protocol": "Storage",
> 	"types": [
> 		{"name": "KVPair", "type": "record", "fields": [
> 			{"name": "key", "type": "string"},
> 			{"name": "value", "type": "string"}]
> 		}
> 	]
> }
> {noformat}
> And the error:
> {noformat} 
> scala> val x = new edu.berkeley.cs.scads.KVPair
> val x = new edu.berkeley.cs.scads.KVPair
> java.lang.NullPointerException
> 	at org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificRecordBase.hashCode(SpecificRecordBase.java:62)
