Alexandre Normand commented on AVRO-1146: ----------------------------------------- I agree. My patch didn't cover any of the other subclasses of Number and that's likely to be helpful to others. > Can't use ReflectData to get schema when the type has a BigDecimal or > BigInteger field > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-1146 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1146 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: Bug > Components: java > Affects Versions: 1.7.0 > Reporter: Alexandre Normand > Labels: newbie > Attachments: AVRO-1146.patch, TestReflectDataWithBigDecimal.java > > > I'm using avro Reflection API for a specific use case and I have a bug where > if the object I'm trying to get the Schema for has a field of type > BigDecimal. Because BigDecimal extends java.lang.Number, we try to create a > primitive schema for it but fail doing so with the following error: > *{{org.apache.avro.AvroRuntimeException: Not a Specific class: class > java.math.BigDecimal}}* > I'm attaching a unit test that shows the problem with a basic type that has a > single BigDecimal field. > This basically also applied to all subclasses of java.lang.Number that are > not primitives. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
