> Key: AVRO-1554
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1554
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.7.6
> Reporter: Sachin Goyal
> Attachments: AVRO-1554.patch, AVRO-1554_2.patch, AVRO-1554_3.patch, CustomEncodingUnionBug.zip

> Consider the following code:
> {code}
> public class AvroExample
> {
> public static void main (String [] args) throws Exception
> {
> ReflectData rdata = ReflectData.AllowNull.get();
> Schema schema = rdata.getSchema(Temp.class);
>
> ReflectDatumWriter<Temp> datumWriter =
> new ReflectDatumWriter (Temp.class, rdata);
> DataFileWriter<Temp> fileWriter =
> new DataFileWriter<Temp> (datumWriter);
> ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
> fileWriter.create(schema, baos);
> fileWriter.append(new Temp());
> fileWriter.close();
> byte[] bytes = baos.toByteArray();
> GenericDatumReader<GenericRecord> datumReader =
> new GenericDatumReader<GenericRecord> ();
> SeekableByteArrayInput avroInputStream =
> new SeekableByteArrayInput(bytes);
> DataFileReader<GenericRecord> fileReader =
> new DataFileReader<GenericRecord>(avroInputStream, datumReader);
> schema = fileReader.getSchema();
> GenericRecord record = null;
> record = fileReader.next(record);
> System.out.println (record);
> System.out.println (record.get("id"));
> }
> }
> class Temp
> {
> UUID id = UUID.randomUUID();
> Date date = new Date();
> BigInteger bi = BigInteger.TEN;
> }
> {code}
> Output from this code is:
> {code:javascript}
> {"id": {}, "date": {}, "bi": "10"}
> {code}
> UUID and Date type fields are very common in Java and can be found a lot in third-party code as well (where it may be difficult to put annotations).
> So Avro should include a default serialization/deserialization support for such fields.
