Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1268: ------------------------------------ I can take a stab at the parser-based solution if you don't have time. > Add java-class, java-key-class and java-element-class support for stringable > types to SpecificData > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-1268 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1268 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: java > Affects Versions: 1.7.4 > Reporter: Alexandre Normand > Assignee: Alexandre Normand > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.7.5 > > Attachments: AVRO-1268-needs-work.patch, AVRO-1268.patch, > AVRO-1268.patch, AVRO-1268-performance.patch, AVRO-1268.sh, > GenericStringsPerf.patch, pseudo.patch, pseudo.patch > > > Stringable types are java classes that can be serialized through strings > (which require a single string constructor and a valid toString() > implementation). ReflectData currently has support from stringable types but > it would be desirable to get this feature with SpecificData. > The work involves changes to the SpecificCompiler (depends on {{@java-class}} > support in AVRO-1267) to generate the specific sources with the proper java > type as well as moving the ReflectDatumReader and ReflectDatumWriter to read > the java-class/java-key-class and java-element-class properties. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
