Doug Cutting updated AVRO-251:
------------------------------
Attachment: AVRO-251.patch
Here's a new, complete version of this. It directly encodes and decodes
schemas.
JsonNode#equals() doesn't seem to do what I expect, so I had to modify
Schema.Field.equals() to use string comparison of default values. I wonder if
we even need to serialize default values. The typical application of this code
is to efficiently store the schema used to write data with that data. In this
case, the default value is never used and just adds baggage. (Default values
are only used when reading data written by a schema that lacks that value.)
This patch would also be simplified somewhat if we didn't need to read/write
arbitrary json for default values, although it might be a shame to discard this
json-in-avro implementation.
