ASF subversion and git services commented on AVRO-1928: ------------------------------------------------------- Commit b990042604b8bf83db3a137de0f54d726c1af9f0 in avro's branch refs/heads/master from Michael A. Smith [ https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=avro.git;h=b990042 ] AVRO-1928: Simplify Python float/double encoding (#528) Switch to using built-in little endian support in the struct module, instead of explicit bit manipulation. > Python double/float encoding implementation should use built-in struct > support for little endian > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: AVRO-1928 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1928 > Project: Apache Avro > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: python > Affects Versions: 1.8.1, 1.8.2, 1.8.3 > Reporter: Shalabh Chaturvedi > Priority: Minor > > The encoding and decoding of double and float types in Python uses > unnecessary bit operations and packing/unpacking. Python's {{struct}} module > supports little-endian encoding and could be used directly, instead of using > the big-endian and then bit-fiddling to reverse the endianness. > This could have a big impact of encoding/decoding speed of large buffers. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
