Jeremy Kahn created AVRO-1316:
---------------------------------
Summary: IDL code-generation generates too-long literals for very
large schemas
Key: AVRO-1316
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1316
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: java
Reporter: Jeremy Kahn
Priority: Minor
When I work from a very large IDL schema, the Java code generated includes a
schema JSON literal that exceeds the length of the maximum allowed literal
string ([65535
characters|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8323082/size-of-initialisation-string-in-java]).
This creates weird Maven errors like: {{[ERROR] ...FooProtocol.java:[13,89]
constant string too long}}.
It might seem a little crazy, but a 64-kilobyte JSON protocol isn't outrageous
at all for some of the more involved data structures, especially if we're
including documentation strings etc.
I believe the fix should be a bit more sensitivity to the length of the JSON
literal (and a willingness to split it into more than one literal, joined by
{{+}}), but I haven't figured out where that change needs to go. Has anyone
else encountered this problem?
