Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-540:
-----------------------------------

Nevermind.  It is overriding a method that has javadoc!  +1 as-is.

> There are a number of RPC methods in Cassandra that return ordered results (ordered by pluggable comparators, avro's ordering won't work), and each has a means of specifying that the order be reversed. The way this is currently done is to use a List to process the results, Collections.reverse() to reorder if needed, and then copy them to a GenericArray to be returned. It would be nice to avoid this intermediary step.
> The patch that follows adds a reverse() method to GenericData.Array that simply reverses the order of the elements in the underlying Object[].
