I am a new user of Avro 1.7.7. My (Java) application is reading rows from an Oracle DB, and archiving them to Avro (and Parquet). For NUMBER Oracle data, my code converts the unscaled BigInteger (from BigDecimal) number into a bytes array, and archives that to Avro using a ByteBuffer in the GenericRecord. In one case, the NUMBER value from Oracle is 14099 (precision 8, scale 2, for a column named "CURBAL"), which is archived to Avro based on the unscaled value of 1409900. This corresponds to a bytes array of length 3, consisting of these 3 bytes (decimal values): 21, -125, and 108. When my code reads this CURBAL value back from Avro, it is corrupted (padded?), with a fourth byte added that happens to be decimal 32 (an ASCII space), i.e., the 4 byte decimal values seen upon reading back from Avro are 21, -125, 108, and 32. Has anyone seen a similar issue? I am archiving the same data to Parquet, and reading it back without any corruption. I am wondering whether I am using Avro improperly here.
The schema that I'm using is shown below my signature, with various additions (look for "cv_" prepended in the key) for JDBC ResultSetMetaData info that my code is preserving for later on. I have attached sample Avro and Parquet files to this email, with corruption in CURBAL of the tenth record of the Avro. (I realize that the attachments may not get forwarded - let me know if I should send them to you individually.) Interestingly, if I write this tenth record to another Avro file as the first record, it does not get corrupted (an alignment/padding issue?).
