---------------------------------
Summary: Avrogen tool fails on "unknown" logical types
Key: AVRO-4008
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-4008
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: csharp
Affects Versions: 1.11.3
Reporter: Alexey Raga
Avro specification says:
{code:java}
Language implementations must ignore unknown logical types when reading, and
should use the underlying Avro type. If a logical type is invalid, for example
a decimal with scale greater than its precision, then implementations should
ignore the logical type and use the underlying Avro type.{code}
However, Avrogen tool for Dotnet (csharp) fails when it meets an "unknown"
logical type.
For example, generating code for this field:
{code:java}
{
"name": "email",
"type": {
"type": "string",
"logicalType": "encrypted-string"
}
}{code}
fails with this error:
{code:java}
Exception occurred. Logical type 'encrypted-string' is not supported.{code}
while, according to the spec, it should fall back to the underlying type
(string).
It'd be much nicer if Avrogen would ignore unknown logical types and would
generate fields of an underlying type instead.
