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

             Summary: AvroTypeInfo does not work with readonly avro specific records
                 Key: FLINK-3966
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3966
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Avro Support
    Affects Versions: 1.0.2, 1.0.3
            Reporter: Matthew Burghoffer
            Priority: Minor


When generating avro code, users will often supply createSetters=false and fieldVisibility=private for Avro specific records (for effectively immutable records).  This means that, according to TypeExtractor.isValidPojoField, the object is not a valid pojo (though is completely a valid avro object) and the TypeInformation factory will fail.

Specific records are usually created using builders, so perhaps using this mechanism for when creating a new record / mutating an existing record is required.
