-----------------------------------
Summary: Issue in schema preservation
Key: AVRO-4058
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-4058
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Pascal Ginter
While trying to write an [Iceberg Manifest List
File|[https://iceberg.apache.org/spec/#manifest-lists],] which is essentially
an Avro File with some custom attributes I ran into a few issues which to the
best of my knowledge are not present in other language implementations or the
Avro spec. So far I have encountered these issues with the C++ library
* Arrays are not capable of having custom attributes
* Attributes in general have to be strings or null. I.e. integers are not
supported
I am willing to address these issues myself by writing a PR (at least for the
first point I know how to fix it. Please let me know if there are already any
efforts to fix this or reasons why the encountered behavior should be preserved.
