> Components: csharp
> Affects Versions: 1.8.2
> Reporter: Tim Roberts
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.9.2

>
> 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.
