Sergei Kuzmin commented on AVRO-1291:
-------------------------------------
Argument passed defines how the object persist in memory. With default
HINTS_NONE this is current behavior (no Type hinting).
With HINTS_ALL this is strict JSON hinting. I.e. you can do
json.dumps(my_avro_object) and get correct JSON Avro Serialization (no extra
JSONDecoder/Encoder required)
With HINTS_PEGASUS you get Linkedin Pegasus representation of the object. You
can use this for example to deserialize object from avro file and then make a
REST.li call:
requests.put(RESTLI_SERVER_URL, json.dumps(my_avro_object))
> Python library missing strict JSON encode/decoe

> Key: AVRO-1291
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1291
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: python
> Affects Versions: 1.7.7
> Reporter: Jeremy Kahn
> Attachments: avro.diff
>
>
> The Python Avro libraries don't actually have a proper JSON decoder or
> encoder, because they don't handle the [type-hinting for
> unions|http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#json_encoding] properly.
> The Python {{avro.io}} library should provide a pair of
> {{StrictJsonEncoder,StrictJsonDecoder}}} classes that correctly include (and
> decode) the type hints when the schema expects a union.
> Jonathan Coveney [raised this
> concern|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/avro-user/201304.mbox/%3CCAKne9Z6nkYXwb4QzPr4qNyH1o7TnL1674MspgnHuKMuD2imguQ%40mail.gmail.com%3E]
