Matt Massie updated AVRO-344: ----------------------------- Fix Version/s: 1.3.0 Assignee: Matt Massie Status: Patch Available (was: Open) > Complete C rewrite > ------------------ > > Key: AVRO-344 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-344 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Matt Massie > Assignee: Matt Massie > Fix For: 1.3.0 > > Attachments: AVRO-344.patch > > > This JIRA is for tracking what I hope will be the last C rewrite. > This rewrite > * removes all dependencies on APR and APR-util. Memory is managed now using > reference counting. Hashes implemented using public domain code from > Berkeley. List implemented using BSD license queue.h > * uses the jansson JSON parser for parsing schemas. The Jansson parser is a > high-quality JSON parser in C with an Apache-friendly MIT license > * there is a well-defined object framework that serves both datum and schema > datatypes and provides reference counting. Schemas and datum/values are no > longer part of a single monolithic structure now. > * you can now create a schema from json or by hand in code > * updated to support the new AVRO-163 build layout > * properly checks avro identifiers > * probes for the endianness of the architecture in order to optimize > endianness flipping, e.g. only on big-endian machines are little-endian > conversions done. > * documentation is now handled by asciidoc instead of doxygen. > * increased number of schema unit tests > * provides much more schema processing functionality like recursively > checking for equality, checking for matches with promotion, and recursive > schema copy. > * lots of bug fixes > This code is by no means complete. Most of the schema processing code is > finished along with the primitive encoders for the binary format but I still > need to complete the read/write path for complex types. > I'm submitting this Jira to make the work public and to solicit feedback in > prep for the 1.3 release. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
