Pascal Ginter updated AVRO-4058:
--------------------------------
Description:
While trying to write an Iceberg Manifest List File
(https://iceberg.apache.org/spec/#file-system-operations) 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.
