Description

As we now support the detection of Vavr collections in TypeInformation, object mapping converters will need to be able to read and set them. Their current implementations are likely to expect Java-native Collection and Map implementations for properties that are considered collections and maps. This can be mitigated by providing a dedicated PersistentPropertyAccessor implementation that automatically translates the special collections into Java-native ones so that the converting code can still transparently work with those.
