----------------------------------------

             Summary: AvroTypeSerializer does not work with types generated by avrohugger
                 Key: FLINK-12501
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-12501
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Formats (JSON, Avro, Parquet, ORC, SequenceFile)
            Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek


The main problem is that the code in {{SpecificData.createSchema()}} tries to reflectively read the {{SCHEMA$}} field, that is normally there in Avro generated classes. However, avrohugger generates this field in a companion object, which the reflective Java code will therefore not find.

This is also described in these ML threads:
