Stefan Langer updated AVRO-1173:
--------------------------------

    Description: 
When I started looking at Avro I hoped it would offer some API to read values 
by name/id (or at least get name/id of datum while iterating over all entries).

When looking at examples for C: 
http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.6.3/api/c/index.html#_examples
... or some Java examples
There are getters/setters which have name-arguments, and there are 
Record-objects constructed from schema which help reading/writing data.

While testing the C++ API, I couldn't find a way to do so with it!
I'm still not sure if I'm missing some part of the API or if it is just not yet 
part of the C++ Interface.

About C API: I could not use it, because it is C99 focused, so it can't be 
compiled on our VS2008 ... For the C++ API it's just some tiny tweaks to get it 
running.
About Generator: I'm not interested in generating code (if I would be there are 
enough alternatives to Avro ...)
