package org.apache.avro.reflect;

import java.util.Map;

Class to make Avro immune from the naming variations of key/value fields among several Entry implementations. If objects of this class are used instead of the regular ones obtained by Map.entrySet(), then we need not worry about the actual field-names or any changes to them in the future.
Example: ConcurrentHashMap.MapEntry does not name the fields as key/ value in Java 1.8 while it used to do so in Java 1.7
Type parameters:
  • <K> – Key of the map-entry
  • <V> – Value of the map-entry
