AVRO-1684: Add support for date, time, and timestamp to specific This is based on AVRO-1672, which adds the date, time, and timestamp conversions. The specific IDL has been updated with 3 new field types: date, time_ms, and timestamp_ms. These will translate to fields that use the appropriate logical types that were added in AVRO-1672. The compiler now includes logic to add date, time, and timestamp fields using Joda time objects, and the data reader and writer support classes with those objects. In addition, there is a test to validate that classes compiled from schemas with logical types before this patch still work. Field conversions have been added to SpecificRecordBase via `getConversion(int)` and `getConversion(String fieldName)`.

This uses Joda classes to represent the new logical types: * date => LocalDate * time-millis => LocalTime * timestamp-millis => DateTime Joda is an optional dependency and will only be loaded if the conversions in org.apache.avro.data.TimeConversions are referenced. By default, no logical type conversions are enabled so there is no additional runtime dependency for existing applications. commit 09b3dbebbf06bd71ccd18039e00d278226e4d2e3 Author: Ryan Blue <b...@apache.org> Date: 2015-05-28T23:59:40Z AVRO-1684: Add time types to the specific compiler. This adds a dependency on Joda time for both the compiler and the compiled classes. When generating Java classes, any conversion that is registered with the compiler's SpecificData instance will be used. commit bead1610648cc7c0cb63a4b19e0d503b31f1e043 Author: Ryan Blue <b...@apache.org> Date: 2015-06-16T20:08:46Z AVRO-1672: Add tests for specific date/time types. commit 8754a2ba8ed4675b98bb42bf60043acdebb81326 Author: Ryan Blue <b...@apache.org> Date: 2015-06-17T19:20:48Z AVRO-1684: Make specific time support compatible with existing classes. ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
