Avro support for the Java bindings?

[meken]

Avro doesn't seem to be supported as a first class citizen in the Java bindings (I end up with UnsupportedOperationException: Interface can't be instantiated! Interface name: org.apache.avro.generic.GenericRecord when I try it). Is this intended?

BTW, I could sort this out by working with byte arrays and Avro DatumWriter/Readers, but it would be nicer to have better support (comparable to the C# bindings).

Thank you for sharing @meken Good point. I have no afford right now, however, I'd like to keep this for being the future backlog.

I have a customer that needs this capability.

Appreciate your feedback on this! We are investigating on this capability. Any inputs on size of Avro records expected? This will help us plan accordingly @shrohilla , @lpapudippu

@denniszielke we are supporting with Generic Records so closing this issue for now
