Sean Busbey commented on AVRO-1847: ----------------------------------- this would address my concerns for backwards compatibility, so long as those same switches were then exposed via the maven plugin and the specific compiler tool. > IDL compiler uses ByteBuffer for decimal type even if logical type is > supported > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-1847 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1847 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: Bug > Components: java > Affects Versions: 1.8.0 > Reporter: Yibing Shi > Assignee: Yibing Shi > Attachments: AVRO-1847.1.patch, AVRO-1847.2.patch, AVRO-1847.3.patch, > AVRO-1847.4.patch > > > Version 1.8.0 has added the support of logical types. A conversion class > (Conversions.DecimalConversion) has also been added for decimal type. > However, the IDL compiler still uses ByteBuffer for decimal types, which is > not the same behaviour as data, time or timestamp type (added in AVRO-1684). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
