Description

Manually registering a Conversion<T> is cumbersome, but necessary if creating the factory requires constructor parameters.

For most cases though, a Conversion<T> gets all the information it needs from the schema. This makes it a good candidate for a SPI (using the Java 6 ServiceLoader class).

This is the addendum to AVRO-3441, which does the same thing for LogicalTypeFactory.
