Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1268:
------------------------------------
Right, the ipc module has become the home of most tests that depend on the
compiler & maven plugins. Perhaps we should create a module just for such
tests, but in the meantime, let's just keep them all in ipc.
Thanks for sticking with this!

> Stringable types are java classes that can be serialized through strings
> (which require a single string constructor and a valid toString()
> implementation). ReflectData currently has support from stringable types but
> it would be desirable to get this feature with SpecificData.
> The work involves changes to the SpecificCompiler (depends on {{@java-class}}
> support in AVRO-1267) to generate the specific sources with the proper java
> type as well as moving the ReflectDatumReader and ReflectDatumWriter to read
> the java-class/java-key-class and java-element-class properties.
