Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1665:
------------------------------------
We permit incompatible changes to APIs in minor releases, but an incompatible
changes to data formats are only supposed to be made in major releases, e.g.,
Avro 2.0. I think it would be better to incorporate this change into a new
json format like AVRO-1582.
> Provide way to represent BYTES type using base64 encoding in JSON
> -----------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: AVRO-1665
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1665
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.7.7
> Reporter: Konstantin Shaposhnikov
>
> Currently JsonEncoder and JsonDecoder represent BYTES type as String encoded
> using ISO-8859-1 charset.
> It would be good to provide option to use base64 encoding (e.g. using jackson
> JsonGenerator.writeBinary(byte[] data, int offset, int len) method).
