Unions have no getter function (avro_union_get)
-----------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-628
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-628
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Gavin M. Roy
The union data type has no getter function and as such, the only way to get to
the data in the union is to create a struct
{code}typedef struct avro_union_datum_t {
struct avro_obj_t obj;
int64_t discriminant;
avro_datum_t value;
} avro_union_datum_t;{code}
in your own include or code as the struct for this is in datum.h which is not
installed with the library. In addition, there is a type warning when trying
to use avro_record_get using the avro_union_datum_t.
Ideally there would be a getter that exposes the datum in the union.
