So, since I know there have been many attempts to improve Date/Time handling for Avro module -- and since Date/Time handling in general as well as in Java in particular is ... complicated -- I thought I'd ask for help in reviewing this neat new PR, planned for inclusion in 2.13:
https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-dataformats-binary/pull/283 the basic idea is that instead of solving more general Logical Types problem (something I eventually want to tackle), there's an optional Module to add to AvroMapper, which would allow more efficient serialization of a subset of Java 8 date/time values into `long`s and so forth; as well as generating better Avro schemas with datatype awareness. I think the main concern I have is with "Local" date/time types: these have been proven to be VERY confusing to most users, developers; and it seems that some libraries/frameworks have added to confusion as well -- both in documentation and in implementations. So: before merging things in, it'd be great to get more eyes to go through these changes. This is not a huge PR, fortunately, so I hope someone with Date/Time-fu has a bit of time to spare for reviewing it. :) -+ Tatu +- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jackson-dev" group.
