Hi Avro community, Recently I have been experimenting with avro schema that are extended with a "unit" field. By "unit" I mean expressions like "second", or "megabyte" - that is "units of measure".
I delivered a short talk on my experiments at Berlin Buzzwords, which can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrQmB2KFKE8 I also wrote a short blog post that may be faster to ingest: http://erikerlandson.github.io/blog/2019/05/23/unit-types-for-avro-schema-integrating-avro-with-coulomb/ I received some audience interest in making this concept "first class" for avro, and so I'm writing to see what the avro dev community thinks of the idea. One issue is that this kind of unit checking is currently only available for Scala (and specifically scala 2.13 +). The Scala project itself is here: https://github.com/erikerlandson/coulomb Cheers, Erik
