---------------------------------
Summary: Support Logical Types in C#
Key: AVRO-2359
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2359
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: csharp
Reporter: Tim Roberts
By not supporting Logical Types, the C# Avro implementation is severely limited
in terms of its interoperability in heterogeneous environments. While the
implementation will safely ignore logical type declarations in processed
schemas; at runtime the semantics of a "date" for example, will be lost when
receiving an Avro payload that was encoded by the Java platform using the same
schema. The C# implementation will never be able to retrieve the date value
from the encoded int.
I propose that the C# Avro implementation be extended to support the Logical
Types as defined by the current specification. I have also explored the
lang/csharp codebase and believe that I could produce a PR to support this.
