Nick Palmer commented on AVRO-251:
----------------------------------
While it is certainly nice to be able to serialize to binary I suspect that
having complete meta will enable a lot more applications than you would expect.
I am working on one in particular where I need this schema but I need it to be
complete. I need the "other" fields mentioned above. As it stands in this patch
my application needs:
Record: name, namespace, and doc fields.
Field: doc.
Enum: namespace.
Order is not a union with null. (Already mentioned)
For what I am writing I need these in the meta-data to be able to drive things
and it would be nice if they were offered as officially supported meta-data so
that it is maintained as Avro evolves and my application can adapt to new
versions via this meta-data when I drop a new Avro jar in instead of having to
maintain it myself.
