---------------------------------------
Summary: Allow Stringable Map keys in addition to pure String keys
Key: AVRO-1147
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1147
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.7.0
Reporter: Alexandre Normand
I'm using avro reflection for some serialization that doesn't require the best
performance for some short-lived data.
However, the object I'm trying to serialize uses a {{Map}} with non-String keys
(the key class is {{Integer}}) and, because of the strict restriction on Map
keys being Strings, it fails.
Could we consider allowing Map keys to be *{{Stringable}}* classes (I'm
thinking of something similar to Doug's solution in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1146)?
