C++ design for generic datum could be better.
---------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-940
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-940
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: c++
Reporter: Thiruvalluvan M. G.
Assignee: Thiruvalluvan M. G.
Fix For: 1.6.0
The template functions {{avro::encode()}} and {{avro::decode}} along with
{{codec_traits}} has a clean way of encoding and decoding built-in C++ types
corresponding to Avro types and types generated by the code generator. However,
encoding and decoding {{GenricDatum}} is clunky. It uses {{std::pair}} and
schema objects make makes it hard for programmers to grasp and use. Added
complexity is due to use of reference in {{pair}}.
The forthcoming patch simplifies this and makes things uniform.
