Hi all,
This is Hua Huang, a CS master student from Simon Fraser University, Canada. I am going to participate in the Google Summer of Code 2010 and I also find out that several projects of AVRO are quite interesting, especially AVRO-456(add tools that read/write json records from/to avro data files) together with AVRO-457 and AVRO-458. I plan to submit a proposal for these projects which would produce a C/C++ command-line tool to support transformation between AVRO data and other types of data, like CSV, Json or XML. My key idea is to use parallel bit stream technology to speed up the parsing procedure in order to build a high performance tool which will be very useful in practical, especially in the large-scale dataset. I sent an email to Doug Cutting(cutt...@apache.org) who is the reporter of these projects, but I haven't received any reply yet. So I am wondering, is there anybody who can communicate with me for the details of the projects, or even suggest me a person so that I could contact with him/her for the details? Any feedback is really appreciated. Thank you very much. Yours Sincerely, Hua
