Can convert Java project to use CharSequence but not String

Hm. Hard to say, did you change the mail.avpr definition as well?

Thanks for the idea. I just now removed the avro-plugin and the mail.avpr after generating the classes in order to make sure I wasn't overwriting the files, and once again after attempting to modify them to use String the error is still there.

My current guess (likely wrong) is that SpecificRequestor can only handle Utf8 (to enforce efficiency?), but after looking through the source, I don't immediately see where it's doing that.

So maybe this is a "can't fix". Thanks for the eyes tho. I'm happy closing this issue and if I run across a solution I'll share what I find.

Sorry. I'm no where near an Avro expert - perhaps if you asked on the Avro mailing list?

No worries at all. Looks like someone beat me to it. Lots of views, but sadly no response :)

For completeness' sake, I'll report that the asker seems to have had the same error deserializing GenericRecords, and has an amusing example repo that seems to offer a solution of passing in both a reader schema and a writer schema. SpecificResponder however can only take a Class or a Protocol, and both result in the same error for me.

Lol. Thanks for the pointer. ttyl
