Matt Howlett commented on AVRO-2359:
------------------------------------
I propose closing this issue since [~timjroberts]'s PR has been merged into
1.9.2. There are a few gaps still, but times and decimals are both possible now.
[~davidjsimonsTTD] - that is indeed a gap (and it would be great to have it
closed). Propose opening a new Jira for that.
> 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
> Affects Versions: 1.8.2
> Reporter: Tim Roberts
> Priority: Critical
>
> 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.
