Scott Carey commented on AVRO-1316:
-----------------------------------
I have not, but my schemas are only ~12K.
I assume the problem is in the creation of the SCHEMA$ static field?
We could break the string up into 4k chunks.
However it will be more efficient and significantly less resulting class file
size if we use the Schema API programatically.
This isn't too hard.
We go from the below (edited from one line to many for readability):
{code}
public static final org.apache.avro.Schema SCHEMA$ = new
org.apache.avro.Schema.Parser().parse(
"{\"type\":\"record\",\"name\":\"HandshakeRequest\",\"namespace\":\"org.apache.avro.ipc\",\"fields\":[
{\"name\":\"clientHash\",\"type\":{\"type\":\"fixed\",\"name\":\"MD5\",\"size\":16}},
{\"name\":\"clientProtocol\",\"type\":[\"null\",{\"type\":\"string\",\"avro.java.string\":\"String\"}]},
{\"name\":\"serverHash\",\"type\":\"MD5\"},
{\"name\":\"meta\",\"type\":[\"null\",{\"type\":\"map\",\"values\":\"bytes\",\"avro.java.string\":\"String\"}]}
]}");
{code}
to use the new SchemaBuilder:
{code}
public static final org.apache.avro.Schema SCHEMA$;
static {
SCHEMA$ = SchemaBuilder
.recordType("HandshakeRequest")
.namespace("org.apache.avro.ipc")
.requiredFixed("clientHash", MD5.SCHEMA$)
.unionType("clientProtocol", SchemaBuilder.unionType(
SchemaBuilder.NULL,
SchemaBuilder.STRING)
.build())
.addProp("avro.java.string", "String")
.requiredFixed("serverHash", MD5.SCHEMA$)
.unionType("meta", SchemaBuilder.unionType(
SchemaBuilder.NULL,
SchemaBuilder.mapType(SchemaBuilder.BYTES)
.addProp("avro.java.string", "String")
.build())
.build())
.build();
}
{code}
> IDL code-generation generates too-long literals for very large schemas
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-1316
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1316
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: java
> Reporter: Jeremy Kahn
> Priority: Minor
>
> When I work from a very large IDL schema, the Java code generated includes a
> schema JSON literal that exceeds the length of the maximum allowed literal
> string ([65535
> characters|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8323082/size-of-initialisation-string-in-java]).
>
> This creates weird Maven errors like: {{[ERROR] ...FooProtocol.java:[13,89]
> constant string too long}}.
> It might seem a little crazy, but a 64-kilobyte JSON protocol isn't
> outrageous at all for some of the more involved data structures, especially
> if we're including documentation strings etc.
> I believe the fix should be a bit more sensitivity to the length of the JSON
> literal (and a willingness to split it into more than one literal, joined by
> {{+}}), but I haven't figured out where that change needs to go. Has anyone
> else encountered this problem?
