massakam opened a new pull request #5938: Upgrade Avro to 1.9.1 URL: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/pull/5938 ### Motivation Currently, Pulsar uses Avro 1.8.2, a version released two years ago. The latest version of Avro is 1.9.1, which uses FasterXML's Jackson 2.x instead of Codehaus's Jackson 1.x. Jackson is prone to security issues, so we should not keep using older versions. https://blog.godatadriven.com/apache-avro-1-9-release ### Modifications Avro 1.9 has some major changes: - The library used to handle logical datetime values has changed from Joda-Time to JSR-310 (https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/631) - Namespaces no longer include "$" when generating schemas containing inner classes using ReflectData (https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/283) - Validation of default values has been enabled (https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/288). This results in a validation error when parsing the following schema: ```json { "name": "fieldName", "type": [ "null", "string" ], "default": "defaultValue" } ``` The default value of a nullable field must be null (cf. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1803), and the default value of the field as above is actually null. However, this PR disables the validation in order to maintain the traditional behavior.
