Don't include value class data/methods in each instance of a value ------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-172 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-172 Project: Avro Issue Type: Improvement Components: c Affects Versions: 1.2.0, 1.1.0, 1.0.0 Reporter: Matt Massie Fix For: 1.2.1, 1.3.0 Attachments: AVRO-172.patch This patch is in response to Thiru's feedback about the current C implementation. Thanks, Thiru! I appreciate the feedback. Previously, all instances of an Avro value contained class-specific data and methods (e.g. callbacks for reading, skipping and writing data). This is inefficient and unnecessary. This patch creates a per value class registry to hold all class-wide information. Moreover, this patch creates the framework necessary for support the Avro JSON import/export format. Each value class registers all supported data formats (named AVRO_BINARY_FORMAT and AVRO_JSON_IMPORT_EXPORT_FORMAT). The current JSON parser is a DOM-like parser which is really only suitable for process schema data. The callbacks registered in the value class registry will allow us to process JSON data in a SAX-link fashion moving forward. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
