Anthony Hsu created AVRO-2078: --------------------------------- Summary: Avro does not enforce schema resolution rules for Decimal type Key: AVRO-2078 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2078 Project: Avro Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Anthony Hsu Fix For: 1.8.2
According to http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.2/spec.html#Decimal bq. For the purposes of schema resolution, two schemas that are {{decimal}} logical types _match_ if their scales and precisions match. This is not enforced. I wrote a file with (precision 5, scale 2) and tried to read it with a reader schema with (precision 3, scale 1). I expected an AvroTypeException to be thrown, but none was thrown. Test data file attached. The code to read it is: {noformat:title=ReadDecimal.java} import java.io.File; import org.apache.avro.Schema; import org.apache.avro.file.DataFileReader; import org.apache.avro.generic.GenericDatumReader; import org.apache.avro.generic.GenericRecord; import org.apache.avro.io.DatumReader; public class ReadDecimal { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { Schema schema = new Schema.Parser().parse("{\n" + " \"type\" : \"record\",\n" + " \"name\" : \"some_schema\",\n" + " \"namespace\" : \"com.howdy\",\n" + " \"fields\" : [ {\n" + " \"name\" : \"name\",\n" + " \"type\" : \"string\"\n" + " }, {\n" + " \"name\" : \"value\",\n" + " \"type\" : {\n" + " \"type\" : \"bytes\",\n" + " \"logicalType\" : \"decimal\",\n" + " \"precision\" : 3,\n" + " \"scale\" : 1\n" + " }\n" + " } ]\n" + "}"); DatumReader<GenericRecord> datumReader = new GenericDatumReader<>(schema); // dec.avro has precision 5, scale 2 DataFileReader<GenericRecord> dataFileReader = new DataFileReader<>( new File("/tmp/dec.avro"), datumReader); GenericRecord foo = null; while (dataFileReader.hasNext()) { foo = dataFileReader.next(foo); // AvroTypeException expected due to change in scale/precision but none occurs } } } {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
