Vivek Nadkarni commented on AVRO-1173: -------------------------------------- It would be great if you could create a JIRA entry for the issues you fixed with the Windows build, and upload a patch file with all your changes in it. These changes would be merged by one of the committers (usually Douglas Creager for Avro-C) before the next release. Also, does anyone on the list know how the automatic build servers work for Avro? Would it be possible to add a Windows build for Avro-C, so we could catch issues more quickly when things break. > C++ API for dynamic reading/writing based on schema > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-1173 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1173 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: Wish > Components: c++ > Reporter: Stefan Langer > > 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 ...) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
