HttpTranceiver and JSON-encoded Avro?

2012-02-15 Thread Frank Grimes 
Hi All,

Is there any way to send Avro data over HTTP encoded in JSON?
We want to integrate with Node.js and JSON seems to be the best/simplest way to 
do so.

Thanks,

Frank Grimes

FWIW, there are avro libs for JavaScript and node on github.

See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-485 for some discussion on
JavaScript for Avro.  Please comment in that ticket with your needs and
use case.  The project would welcome a JavaScript implementation.

Are there any fast and stable ones you might recommend?

Nesting avro with avro or proto binary represenations

2012-02-15 Thread Shirahatti, Nikhil 
Hello Avro Users,

My question is whether we can use an avro schema as a wrapper for another 
avro/protobuf binary representation.

Example:

{

  namespace: com.AvroExample,

  name: wrapper,

  type: record,

  fields: [

  {name: timestamp, type: long},

  {name: header, type: string},

  {name: body, type: bytes} ]

}


Then the body can be filled in with the binary representation 
(avro/protobuf/json). Can we wrap the below avro schema being inside the above 
wrapper schema? If so any pointers for it?

{

  namespace: com.AvroExample,

  name: server,

  type: record,

  fields: [

 { name : status, type: string},

 { name : user, type: string}]

}


Thanks,

Nikhil
