------------------------------------------------
Hi Yibing Shi,
I'm using Big Decimal data types in my schema and need to generate Java files
with Big Decimal types. I understand this was not working until 1.8.1 and has
been fixed as a patch and will be released part of 1.8.2.
II'm awaiting for the 1.8.2 to be released and kindly let me know the release
date for 1.8.2
Also kindly advise if I can get the avro-tools-1.8.2.jar before the release for
testing purpose.
Appreciate your quick reply.
Thanks and Regards
VIjayakumar Ramachandran

> Version 1.8.0 has added the support of logical types. A conversion class
> (Conversions.DecimalConversion) has also been added for decimal type.
> However, the IDL compiler still uses ByteBuffer for decimal types, which is
> not the same behaviour as data, time or timestamp type (added in AVRO-1684).
