Kevin Oliver commented on AVRO-278: ----------------------------------- Would records written using the previous HashMap version be readable by the array version? I believe the answer is yes, I'd just like to confirm. > use array instead of map to implement generic records > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-278 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-278 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: java > Reporter: Doug Cutting > Fix For: 1.3.0 > > Attachments: AVRO-278.patch > > > It would be considerably faster to implement GenericData.Record as an array > rather than as a HashMap. We expect generic data to be a major incentive to > using Avro, and users of Java's generic API should not pay a performance > penalty. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
