> When using a Java application that has class files generated from an avsc file via the Avro Maven plugin along with the 
> {noformat}
> <stringType>String</stringType>{noformat}
> switch set, serialization of records of the type string such as
>  
> {code:java}
> {"name":"eventType","type":"string"}{code}
> will fail. Changing the type to include an "avro.java.string" detail such as
>  
> {code:java}
> "name": "eventType",
>             "type": {
>               "avro.java.string": "String",
>               "type": "string"
>             }
> {code}
> will succeed.
>  
> It is not possible to create this "avro.java.string": "String" detail via the Avro IDL language. The schema creator must first create the avsc file then manually update all of the "type":"string" fields.
