Markus Weimer commented on AVRO-1625:
-------------------------------------
FWIW, we are using this library in REEF, [REEF-51], specifically. It would be
awesome to see this within Apache Avro.
> 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
