Hi, I have some data I've serialized with Java and would like to deserialize in a C++ application, using GenericRecord in both languages. I've discovered that before each string field, the Java serialization is putting out an extra byte with the value of '2' (or the start text Unicode character? I have no idea why this byte is there). After that byte, it contains the count of characters in the string and of course the string data itself.
The C++ decoder layer is choking on this extra byte. When I try to serialize the same data using C++, the extra byte isn't there and everything works. Also, when I deserialize the data written WITH the extra byte using Java, it seems to work fine (I guess makes sense given the extra byte was added by the Java serializer). I've been testing using the 1.8.1 official release of both the Java and C++ libraries. Any idea what's going on? I've been looking for some kind of config options on the encoders/decoders for either language, didn't find much. Any specific additional info I should provide? ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY : This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be privileged.
