Kevin Tham commented on AVRO-1063:
----------------------------------
Regarding the latter, it doesn't break compatibility. There's no functional
change in Duke's patch other than lifting the trivial requirement on the yajl
dependency. I hope this change gets into the next release. [~busbey] can you
come back to give a quick review of Duke's patch? It basically the same as
Paul's original pull request from Github from last year.
> Ruby client should use multi_json rather than being locked down to yajl

> The avro ruby client uses yajl for JSON serialization which is just one of
> many suitable JSON implementations for ruby. The multi_json gem provides a
> wrapper for JSON serialization selecting the fastest library available (Oj is
> now even faster than Yajl) and falling back to a pure ruby implementation
> bundled with multi_json. Requiring yajl also precludes the ruby gem from
> being used under jruby since it requires a C extension.
