Pascal Ginter updated AVRO-4058:
--------------------------------
Description:
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 PRs for the individual
issues (at least for the first one 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.
