Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-457:
-----------------------------------
This would be a great addition to Avro.
A few quick comments on the proposal:
- you might use AVRO-1402 to support XML Schema decimal types
- when mapping from an XML schema to an Avro schema we might add attributes to
the Avro schema indicating the XML schema. E.g., XML's unsignedShort type
might map to an Avro schema like
{code}{"type":"int", "xml-schema":"unsignedInt"}.{code}Then conversion back to
an XML schema might be done losslessly.
> add tools that read/write xml records from/to avro data files
