Portable specification of the location of schema and protocol files
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-659
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-659
Project: Avro
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Jeff Hammerbacher
Avro doesn't require code generation, which is great. However, if you want to
use a protocol or a schema, your code needs to know where to find it. When your
code is ported to new systems, the protocol or schema file must be placed in
the same place as on the previous system for things to work correctly.
For importing modules in a portable fashion, Python provides a default set of
places it will look for modules and an environment variable called PYTHONPATH
that programs can use to override these defaults. It may be useful to explore
similar constructs for Avro implementations that don't do code generation.
