-------------------------------------
Summary: Support UUID logical type
Key: AVRO-1962
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1962
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.8.1
Reporter: Tianxiang Xiong
The AVRO-1554 ticket seems to suggest that the issue of representing UUIDs is
resolved with [logical
types|http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.1/spec.html#Logical+Types] in Avro
1.8.1. However, there is [no UUID logical type in Avro
1.8.1|https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/release-1.8.1/lang/java/compiler/src/main/javacc/org/apache/avro/compiler/idl/idl.jj#L214-L244].
The specification offers several examples of using logical types; decimals
are represented as:
{code}
{
"type": "bytes",
"logicalType": "decimal",
"precision": 4,
"scale": 2
}
{code}
No examples for UUID are offered, presumably because UUIDs are not supported.
Thanks to [~Yibing]'s confirmation on the mailing list that this is the case.
