------------------------------------
Summary: Support a "unit" property of schema fields
Key: AVRO-2474
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2474
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: spec
Affects Versions: 1.9.0
Reporter: Erik Erlandson
Recently I have been experimenting with avro schema that are extended with a
"unit" field. By "unit" I mean expressions like "second", or "megabyte" - that
is "units of measure".
I received some community interest in making this concept "first class" for
avro; I'm filing this JIRA to track the idea.
I delivered a short talk on my experiments at Berlin Buzzwords, which can be
viewed here:

I also wrote a short blog post that may be faster to ingest:
