Noble Paul commented on AVRO-251:
---------------------------------

I see that the current patch is not complete. The most important requirement is 
to keep it as compact as possible. All that we need to deserialize a message is 
just the field names and types.

bq.Another approach to one-way messaging is to have senders schemas registered 
in a shared database..

We are exploring that approach. The problem is that it adds an extra element to 
the deployment (which can be another failure point in the system). Moreover, it 
is error prone if we rely on manually keeping the repository up-to-date
