> 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.
