Schema resolution using new value interface
-------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-863
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-863
Project: Avro
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: c
Affects Versions: 1.6.0
Reporter: Douglas Creager
Assignee: Douglas Creager
I mentioned this in one of my comments on AVRO-859, but hadn't opened an issue
for it yet. I've been working on a schema resolution implementation for the
new value interface in the C library (AVRO-837). It's similar in structure to
the {{avro_resolver_t}} that I had written for the consumer interface. I'll
describe in more detail in later comments (and in the documentation in the
source tree), but there are two separate resolver classes for the value
interface. Each is used to wrap an existing value instance, and to create a
"view" of that value as if it were an instance of a different schema, and to
use the Avro schema resolution rules to translate between the two schemas. The
two classes are needed because the wrapped value might be on the "writer
schema" side of the resolution, or on the "reader schema" side.
