Description

The main problem is that the code in SpecificData.createSchema() tries to reflectively read the SCHEMA$ field, that is normally there in Avro generated classes. However, avrohugger generates this field in a companion object, which the reflective Java code will therefore not find.

This is also described in these ML threads:
