GenericRecord get java native type

Hi,
just a short question. Is there any way to retrieve a native java int from a Generic Record (without creating an additional object).
This seems kind of trivial question, but I haven't seen yet how to do it.
Thanks
JS

  GenericRecord rec = null;
    ...
              try {
                  rec = r1.read(null, decoder);
                  sourceIP[i] =  rec.get("sourceIP").toString();
                  //same with int????

Not currently, GenericRecord is internally an Object[].  It won't create
an extra object on read, it creates the boxed object during
deserialization.
