Ches Martin commented on AVRO-1063:
-----------------------------------
I'm not sure what the release procedure is for the gem, but with the
{{runtime_dependencies}} change included in the patch, {{rake package}} or
{{rake release}} should update the gem specification in the built {{.gem}} file
such that multi-json will be installed automatically when Avro is installed
with RubyGems ({{gem install}} or dependency managers like Bundler}}).
I believe you can confirm locally with {{gem uninstall multi_json}} followed by
{{rake install}}.
> 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.
