Kengo Seki commented on AVRO-2429:
----------------------------------
[~Fokko] The file I attached is a valid avro file, as follows:
{code}
$ java -jar avro-tools-1.9.0.jar getschema /tmp/uuid.avro
19/06/29 22:25:06 WARN util.NativeCodeLoader: Unable to load native-hadoop
library for your platform... using builtin-java classes where applicable
{
"type" : "record",
"name" : "foo",
"fields" : [ {
"name" : "bar",
"type" : {
"type" : "string",
"logicalType" : "uuid"
}
} ]
}
$ java -jar avro-tools-1.9.0.jar tojson /tmp/uuid.avro
19/06/29 22:25:28 WARN util.NativeCodeLoader: Unable to load native-hadoop
library for your platform... using builtin-java classes where applicable
{"bar":"ee5ae08a-9a70-11e9-af01-47be1a54dc74"}
{code}
But it causes SchemaParseException with the latest Python2 bindings:
{code}
$ python -c "from avro.datafile import *; from avro.io import *;
DataFileReader(open('/tmp/uuid.avro'), DatumReader())"

avro.schema.SchemaParseException: Type property "{u'logicalType': u'uuid',
u'type': u'string'}" not a valid Avro schema: Currently does not support uuid
logical type
{code}
[According to the
specification|http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.9.0/spec.html#Logical+Types], using
the underlying type instead of unknown logical type seems better, rather than
raising an exception.
{quote}
Language implementations must ignore unknown logical types when reading, and
should use the underlying Avro type.

> Avro 1.9.0 fails when reading logical types other than "decimal"
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-2429
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2429
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: python
> Affects Versions: 1.9.0
> Reporter: Chamikara Jayalath
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: uuid.avro
>
>
> [https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/82] added support for Avro "decimal"
> logical type but also added an assertion that results in a reader failing for
> other logical types.
> [https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/master/lang/py/src/avro/schema.py#L821]
> I believe this is a regression since previously avro library used to read the
> underlying primitive type instead of failing.
> Can we revert the behavior for logical types that are not "decimal" by
> removing this assertion and reverting to the old (avro 1.8.1) behavior of
> returning the primitive type ?
