Re: Avro vs Json

2012-08-12 Thread Harsh J
Moving this to the user@avro lists. Please use the right lists for the
best answers and the right people.

I'd pick Avro out of the two - it is very well designed for typed data
and has a very good implementation of the serializer/deserializer,
aside of the schema advantages. FWIW, Avro has a tojson CLI tool to
dump Avro binary format out as JSON structures, which would be of help
if you seek readability and/or integration with apps/systems that
already depend on JSON.

Abhishek,

Moving this to user@flume lists, as it is Flume specific.

P.s. Please do not cross post to multiple lists, it does not guarantee
you a faster response nor is mailing to a *-dev list relevant to your
question here. Help avoid additional inbox noise! :)
