Check out the protobuf schema evolution rules, you may find it's actually simpler with protobuf and don't have to keep track of writer schemas like in Avro: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto#updating
Corresponding to Avro GenericRecord you would use protobuf DynamicMessage It's not documented very prominently, but you can use protobuf dynamically (no codegen). Schemas can be constructed at runtime, although the API can get confusing. And from schemas you can construct DynamicMessages. I wrote a wrapper to help make that a bit easier: https://github.com/os72/protobuf-dynamic On Friday, May 6, 2016 at 5:00:26 PM UTC-7, Vinicius Carvalho wrote: > > Hi there, does protobuf has an equivalent of Avro's > checkReaderWriterCompatibility?
