----------------------------------------
Summary: Python double/float encoding implementation should use
built-in struct support for little endian
Key: AVRO-1928
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1928
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: python
Affects Versions: 1.8.1
Reporter: Shalabh Chaturvedi
Priority: Minor
The encoding and decoding of double and float types in Python uses unnecessary
bit operations and packing/unpacking. Python's {{struct}} module supports
little-endian encoding and could be used directly, instead of using the
big-endian and then bit-fiddling to reverse the endianness.
This could have a big impact of encoding/decoding speed of large buffers.
