Kengo Seki commented on AVRO-2547: ---------------------------------- I'd like to use Perl 5.10.1+ to support bzip2 codec, because [bzip2-related modules (IO::Compress::Bzip2 and IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2) has been included in Perl core modules from that version|https://perldoc.perl.org/5.10.1/index-modules-I.html]. I think we can drop the support for Perl 5.8.x and 5.10.0 for the following reasons: * [Both 5.8.9 (Dec 14, 2008) and 5.10.0 (Dec 18, 2007) are released more than ten years ago|https://perldoc.perl.org/perlhist.html]. I think it's enough time to drop support for them. [They're also in the "end of life" status|https://www.cpan.org/src/]. * Avro depends on Regexp::Common, and [it has already dropped support for them more than three years ago|https://metacpan.org/source/ABIGAIL/Regexp-Common-2017060201/README]. > Add bzip2 support to the Perl bindings > -------------------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-2547 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2547 > Project: Apache Avro > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: perl > Reporter: Kengo Seki > Assignee: Kengo Seki > Priority: Major > > For the same reason as AVRO-2546, it'd be nice if the Perl bindings support > bzip2 codec. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.2#803003)
