What is the purpose of the change
AVRO-2307 : sub task 1.
As described in JIRA
Another challenge we’ve come across is that lists of primitive types (floats in our case) are always boxed into Object Floats by Avro. In our case, this resulted in millions of Objects / second getting allocated, causing pathological GC pressure.
So, this PR aims to introduce list of primitives classes that save memory consomption when Generic data with array of boolean, int, long, float or double.
Verifying this change
New unit test class PrimitivesArraysTest is implemented + rest of code use it via GenericData.newArray method.
