Clarify spec for object container files
---------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-498
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-498
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: spec
Reporter: Scott Banachowski
I have some proposed changes for the spec in the Object Container Files section.
The fixes are:
1) call out explicitly that when it says long, it means avro-encoded long.
2) since the implementations are serializing the metadata as an avro map, this
map should be followed by a block size of 0 (consistent with avro map encoding)
3) fix the example header schema so it passes JSONLint (it had an extra comma
after the last array value).
Number 2 above is something I'm not sure about, because I don't know if it's a
compatible change... I hope it does not break any implementations.
