Alexandre Normand commented on AVRO-1147:
-----------------------------------------
I've been playing around with the code to add a property on map schemas for
which the key is a stringable class. It's working but before I put more time
and effort into this to make this more real, I would love to hear some opinions
either for or against that feature.
Anyone?
> Allow Stringable Map keys in addition to pure String keys (avro reflection)

> 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)
