Re: Avro-456/457/458 in Google Summer of Code 2010
I have very little knowledge about GSOC and do not know what is considered a project there. Avro doesn't define 'projects'. Its JIRA tickets can be items that take an hour to do or a month. Some of the tasks related to conversion of csv, xml, or json data into or out of avro are very simple, and some are not. The scope of all three, including a unified tool for conversion and testing, is a fairly large overall project. JSON would be the easiest, since Avro already supports serialization to and from it. XML has the potential to be the most complete and flexible. It is a lot of work but would use standard APIs and tools. CSV has the most restrictions -- it can't support recursive schemas or unions well. Additionally it can have some tricky corner cases since it is not a strict standard. It will likely be the most popular 'import into avro' variation, however. The tools for conversion (command line or other) and the testing required for all of the above are non-trivial, mostly because such a tool has to be very good at clear error handling and reporting or it won't be very useful in the real world. -Scott On Apr 5, 2010, at 6:03 PM, Zheng Yang wrote: Hi, Scott, as you can see, these three tools can be eventually combined into one multifunctional tool which accepts different format(csv,xml,json..). since I'm also going to submit a proposal for this , may i know are they considered to be one project or three?

Hi, Scott, as you can see, these three tools can be eventually combined into one multifunctional tool which accepts different format(csv,xml,json..). since I'm also going to submit a proposal for this , may i know are they considered to be one project or three?
