Ismaël Mejía commented on AVRO-2474: ------------------------------------ I think since this is an Avro Enhacement Proposal (aep label) we require too of consensus on the feature so also worth to discuss (and vote) that in the mailing list. > Support a "unit" property of schema fields > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: AVRO-2474 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2474 > Project: Apache Avro > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: spec > Affects Versions: 1.9.0 > Reporter: Erik Erlandson > Priority: Major > Labels: aep > > 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 received some community interest in making this concept "first class" for > avro; I'm filing this JIRA to track the idea. > > 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/] > > The project itself is here: > [https://github.com/erikerlandson/coulomb] > > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
