We have a plugin for the scala compiler that takes case classes that extent
a special marker trait (AvroRecord) and generates the code needed for Avro
serialization.  It has mostly been used for research thus far, but we use
it quite a bit as the serialization for our K/V store, storing experimental
results, as well as our own homegrown message passing system.

Let me know if you have any questions!
