Huaisi Xu commented on AVRO-1797:
---------------------------------
Thank you so much for this information!!.. I just realized avro started using
systems Jansson library.. but I am working with a legacy version(1.7.x)... and
does not have this function. I will see if I can cherry pick Jansson's \u0000
support and this one.
I could take this, but I am not sure which apis the latest code use are
affected... since I came from a much smaller scope.. :)
> Schema parser should not ignore null character in default value for bytes

> Key: AVRO-1797
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1797
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: c
> Affects Versions: 1.7.4
> Environment: Hive, Impala
> Reporter: Huaisi Xu
> Priority: Critical
>
> In https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/spec.html#schema_complex, "Default
> values for bytes and fixed fields are JSON strings, where Unicode code points
> 0-255 are mapped to unsigned 8-bit byte values 0-255.". The example provided
> is: bytes || string || "\u00FF".
> However, if I try to create a table schema with default bytes value for a
> decimal field to be i.e. "\u0031", I will have "Illegal unquoted character
> ((CTRL-CHAR, code 31)): has to be escaped using backslash to be included in
> string value.". Anything less than 32 fails.
