[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-1146) Can't use ReflectData to get schema
when the type has a BigDecimal field
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1146?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13446475#comment-13446475 ]
Alexandre Normand commented on AVRO-1146:
-----------------------------------------
To add to the description, this actually also applies to every child class of java.lang.Number that aren't wrapper classes to primitive types.

> I'm using avro Reflection API for a specific use case and I have a bug where if the object I'm trying to get the Schema for has a field of type BigDecimal. Because BigDecimal extends java.lang.Number, we try to create a primitive schema for it but fail doing so with the following error:
> *{{org.apache.avro.AvroRuntimeException: Not a Specific class: class java.math.BigDecimal}}*
> I'm attaching a unit test that shows the problem with a basic type that has a single BigDecimal field.
