[jira] Commented: (AVRO-104) Reflective API can't handle nulls

["Doug Cutting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-104?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12747006#action_12747006 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-104:
-----------------------------------

> Otherwise, I think it would be nice to implement reflection through a separate abstraction where you allow clients to plug in their own implementation in Avro.

Sure, one might make ReflectDatumReader and ReflectDatumWriter each contain a ReflectData instance, and add protected methods that create the schemas for each Java type.
