Hi, I wanted to see how much overhead would be involved if we ship an avro schema along with message in a messaging context. Seems like it might simplify things to not always need a schema registry available with all schema versions.
I found an old thread ( http://search-hadoop.com/m/zmrzAWDkbt1/noble+paul/v=threaded) referencing this issue. (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-251) A couple questions? 1) Any particular reason the patch was never merged? Can anyone foresee major issues with this approach? 2) I applied this patch to the 1.5 branch thinking that I'd have the best luck there (both are from 2011). I'm having trouble building anything that depends on the avro-maven-plugin (see errors below). Any help would be appreciated testing this out. Thanks! I'm getting this error trying to use the avro-maven-plugin to compile the ipc module. Any ideas?
