Most of 3rd party libraries will never get past the bytes[] and try a blend .toString on them. was (Author: stephane.maarek@gmail.com): has there been any progress on this? bytes are highly uncommon and not json friendly, they make serialization and deserialization as avro near impossible > Better Json serialization for Avro decimal logical types? > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-1950 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1950 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Zoltan Farkas > Priority: Minor > > Currently as I understand decimal logical types are encoded on top of bytes and fixed avro types. This makes them a bit "unnatural" in the json encoding... > I worked around a hack in my fork to naturally encode them into json decimals. A good starting point to look at is in: https://github.com/zolyfarkas/avro/blob/trunk/lang/java/avro/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/io/DecimalEncoder.java > My approach is a bit hacky, so I would be interested in suggestions to have this closer to something we can integrate into avro... -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
