Ryan Skraba commented on AVRO-2474:
-----------------------------------
I'll bring this up on the mailing list again -- there was an interesting
discussion on reviving the AEP process [back in
April|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r9ec7d8801186d3242e6d535adb547ba5068f5a4e0202ec1bd5d8912a%40%3Cdev.avro.apache.org%3E]
and, given the timing, we obviously should have linked the two together.
> 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:

>
> 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/]
