Stefan Langer commented on AVRO-1173:
-------------------------------------
@Thiruvalluvan:
Yes, I saw those Generic-Classes
... but the GenericRecord doesn't have something like:
void set(const std::string& name, const GenericDatum& v);
... which would be an equivalent to C-API: avro_record_set(...)
And more important the documentation about the Generic-part seems to be really
weak.
> 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 ...)
