Alexey Orlov created AVRO-1625:
----------------------------------
Summary: Adding Microsoft C# Implementation to the project
Key: AVRO-1625
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1625
Project: Avro
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: csharp
Reporter: Alexey Orlov
In April 2014 Microsoft released to the public its own C# implementation of
Avro. The code is completely new. The reasoning for the project was to overcome
the limitations of C# implementation available as a component of Apache project
at the time we have commenced the effort (early 2013). In particular:
- Low performance
- Missing support of serialization using Reflection
Our implementation is called Microsoft Avro Library and available here
https://hadoopsdk.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Avro%20Library (together with the
code)
Throughout 2014 we have released some updates, fixed bugs, added a feature and
now would like to start a conversation about contributing our library to the
project.
Doug Cutting suggested I start a Jira issue for this conversation, so I’m
following the advice (see
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/avro-dev/201406.mbox/%3c50937b33cdf7ca46afcc1f1d04c6551a0a01b...@db3ex14mbxc327.europe.corp.microsoft.com%3e)
Some background information on today’s state of the library:
- The library supports binary serialization only
- RPC support is NOT implemented
- The library is compiled vs Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0. We have NOT
tested it on other platforms (e.g. with Mono).
And about me. I’m a Microsoft employee and Program Manager responsible for the
project.
Looking forward getting the feedback.
Thank you,
Alexey
