> Allow YAML files as Map to be added in RecordSchema
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-1764
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1764
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.9.0
> Reporter: Tiago Lima
>
> I did this little improvement to allow me to add annotations to generated
> files.
> So, if I want to add persistence's annotation to the generated files, I will
> have to add some "javaAnnotations` in schema. This is a bad idea, because my
> client also will have these annotations. Maybe I just have to create a *new
> layer* using the *Decorator Pattern* to add those annotations, but I don't
> want this level of complexity in my application. I just want that my Avro
> Objects have some custom annotations.
> Because of that, we should have the opportunity to add custom configuration
> to be accessed via velocity template (record.vm). So, I added an attribute in
> RecordSchema (called metadata) that read an YAML file, which has the same
> name of the Record, to be loaded as a Map. Now, I just have to overwrite the
> record.vm from velocity to call metadata.
> {code:title=record.vm|borderStyle=solid}
> #set ($indexName =
> $schema.getMetadata().get('persistence').get('elasticsearch').get('indexName'))
> #set ($type =
> $schema.getMetadata().get('persistence').get('elasticsearch').get('type'))
> @Document(indexName = "$indexName", type = "$type")
> {code}
> This can also be used to add validations and any kind of behaviour to the
> Avro Object.
> I just opened a PR that is just a preview of a solution.
> Thanks.
