Description

Hello! first of all, congratulations on the project.

I am generating avro schemas from java class, and my class already have annotations referring to not null. I would like to know if it is possible to somehow override the default behavior to define the nullable in the schema.

My code looks like this:

public class MyJavaClass {
	
	@javax.validation.constraints.NotNull // This is necessary for my project.
	@org.apache.avro.reflect.Nullable // I wanted to avoid having to use this annotation
	private String field;

}

Schema schema = ReflectData.get().getSchema(MyJavaClass.class);

thank you all
