Thanks ! Have downloaded the patches, will start taking a look at updating them to a single patch file to apply to the current trunk/.
One thing to clarify - in looking over comments for 777, there was mention of JIRA-778 ( schema compiler ) code overlap. I'd like to focus on just the RPC mechanism in the patch's rpc.c; My understanding of AVRO is using a compiled schema is an optimization but not a requirement for AVRO's rpc. Or am I missing something ( that I'll probably discover as I dig in more ) ? -geoff Brimhall -----Original Message----- From: Douglas Creager [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sat 2/4/2012 7:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Anyone started work on RPC implementation for avro C ? > Our project is using the Java avro RPC connectivity to flume, we have a bit > of C++ and C code that needs to connect to flume also. > > Checked out the avro.apache trunk, not seeing any RPC C implementation. > > Wanted to double check if anyone out there has already started the C RPC > implementation to collaborate with, otherwise will begin doing a prototype. Hi Geoff, There's a JIRA issue open for RPC support in the C bindings: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-777 This includes a patch, but we've had some API changes since then, so it doesn't apply cleanly. I think that would be a fantastic starting point if you're willing to contribute some development effort fixing any merge conflicts. And I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about the changes and how they relate to the RPC patch. cheers -doug
