Scott Banachowski commented on AVRO-498:
----------------------------------------
Yes, in both cases (longs and metadata), I assumed these were the case from the
context, but feel the spec could be more explicit about it.
> Clarify spec for object container files

> 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.
