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 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
