Jeremy Kahn commented on AVRO-1316:
-----------------------------------
Scott's right about reducing the character count to 2^14: UTF 8 characters may
be up to four bytes each (though that is a [gross
overestimate|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9533258/what-is-the-maximum-number-of-bytes-for-a-utf-8-encoded-character].
I think it would be more likely to be readable in 2^14 character chunks, too.

> Key: AVRO-1316
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1316
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.7.5
> Reporter: Jeremy Kahn
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: patch
> Attachments: AVRO-1316.patch
>
>
> 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?
