Deprecated Methods

Method	Description
org.apache.avro.compiler.specific.SpecificCompiler.javaEscape(String)	Use SpecificCompiler.escapeForJavaString(String) instead
org.apache.avro.compiler.specific.SpecificCompiler.javaUnbox(Schema)	use javaUnbox(Schema, boolean), kept for backward compatibility of custom templates
org.apache.avro.generic.GenericDatumReader.createFixed(Object, byte[], Schema)	As of Avro 1.6.0 this method has been moved to GenericData.createFixed(Object, byte[], Schema)
org.apache.avro.generic.GenericDatumReader.createFixed(Object, Schema)	As of Avro 1.6.0 this method has been moved to GenericData.createFixed(Object, Schema)
org.apache.avro.generic.GenericDatumReader.newRecord(Object, Schema)	As of Avro 1.6.0 this method has been moved to GenericData.newRecord(Object, Schema)
org.apache.avro.idl.IdlLexer.getTokenNames()
org.apache.avro.idl.IdlParser.getTokenNames()
org.apache.avro.io.DecoderFactory.createBinaryDecoder(byte[], int, int, BinaryDecoder)	use DecoderFactory.binaryDecoder(byte[], int, int, BinaryDecoder) instead
org.apache.avro.io.DecoderFactory.createBinaryDecoder(byte[], BinaryDecoder)	use DecoderFactory.binaryDecoder(byte[], BinaryDecoder) instead
org.apache.avro.io.DecoderFactory.createBinaryDecoder(InputStream, BinaryDecoder)	use the equivalent DecoderFactory.binaryDecoder(InputStream, BinaryDecoder) instead
org.apache.avro.io.DecoderFactory.defaultFactory()	use the equivalent DecoderFactory.get() instead
org.apache.avro.ipc.Requestor.readError(Schema, Decoder)
org.apache.avro.ipc.Requestor.readResponse(Schema, Decoder)
org.apache.avro.ipc.specific.SpecificRequestor.getDatumReader(Schema)
org.apache.avro.mapred.AvroMultipleOutputs.getCollector(String, Reporter)	Use AvroMultipleOutputs.collect(java.lang.String, org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Reporter, java.lang.Object) method for collecting output
org.apache.avro.Protocol.createMessage(String, String, Schema)
org.apache.avro.Protocol.createMessage(String, String, Schema, Schema, Schema)
org.apache.avro.Protocol.getUnresolvedTypes()	can return invalid schemata: do NOT use!
org.apache.avro.Schema.createRecord(List<Schema.Field>)	This method allows to create Schema objects that cannot be parsed by SchemaParser.parse(CharSequence). It will be removed in a future version of Avro. Better use Schema.createRecord(String, String, String, boolean, List) to produce a fully qualified Schema.
org.apache.avro.Schema.getNameValidator()
