Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1502:
------------------------------------
It's tempting to add 'extends Serializable' to GenericContainer. But this
would serialize the schema along with every instance which is probably too
expensive.
So we might we limit this to specific-compiler-generated classes, which hold
their schema in a static field. To be safe, we should probably set the
serialVersionUID to the schema fingerprint. Also, SpecificFixed currently
inherits from GenericData.Fixed which includes the schema as a field, so that
needs to be changed so that it instead directly implements GenericFixed and
uses the statically generated schema.
