Ryan Blue commented on AVRO-1812:
---------------------------------
We do have support for types in the IDL, added as part of AVRO-1684. It adds
[date, time_ms, and
timestamp_ms|https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/86/files#diff-136e900cc327974ae416a44248e47d0aR1488].
I think there was a similar change when decimal was added. Is this was you had
in mind?
> IDL compiler doesn't support logical types
> ------------------------------------------

> Key: AVRO-1812
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1812
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Dustin Spicuzza
> Priority: Minor
>
> At least, as far as I can see it doesn't support it. We're looking at
> migrating to 1.8, and these additional types are a big motivator.
> I would advocate adding each one of the new logical types as supported
> primitive types in the IDL... if that sounds good to you, I can probably look
> into doing it tomorrow.
