Called to create new record instances. Subclasses may override to use a different record implementation. The returned instance must conform to the schema provided. If the old object contains fields not present in the schema, they should either be removed from the old object, or it should create a new instance that conforms to the schema. By default, this returns a GenericData.Record.
