[jira] Created: (AVRO-638) make reflect, specific and generic data compatible

make reflect, specific and generic data compatible
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AVRO-638
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-638
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: java
            Reporter: Doug Cutting
            Assignee: Doug Cutting


With AVRO-605 and AVRO-86, reflect, specific and generic are nearly compatible.  Records, primitive types, maps and enums now share common representations.  AVRO-637 would add arrays.  After that I think only some issues with union type dispatch would remain.  Then specific and/or generic data could be arbitrarily intermixed with reflect data with ReflectDatumReader and ReflectDatumWriter.
