Jeff Hodges commented on AVRO-447: ---------------------------------- For those interested, the current ruby implementation only has the string as a valid type if there is no value given for the errors key. That is: {code} writers_schema = remote_message_schema.errors || SYSTEM_ERROR_SCHEMA readers_schema = local_message_schema.errors || SYSTEM_ERROR_SCHEMA {code} I will be changing this to be inclusive in a new ticket. > document protocol system error > ------------------------------ > > Key: AVRO-447 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-447 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: Bug > Components: spec > Affects Versions: 1.3.0 > Reporter: Doug Cutting > Assignee: Doug Cutting > > Currently Java internally adds a type at the start of each protocol message's > error list for system errors. This is used when an exception is encountered > on the server while executing an RPC that does not match one of the messages > declared errors. The type is "string", so it will never conflict with > another error, since all other errors are defined as records. > For example, if a protocol has a message like: > {code} > "foo": { > "request": [], > "response": "null", > "errors": ["MyError"] > } > {code} > Then errors are written and read with the schema ["string", "MyError"], > although that schema never appears publicly. > This should either be documented or changed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
