---------------------------------
Summary: Support schema generation for plain old C# objects (POCOs)
Key: AVRO-2977
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2977
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: csharp
Affects Versions: 1.10.0
Reporter: Corey Fritz
AVRO-2389 added support for serialization/deserialization of POCOs, but it
requires knowledge of an Avro schema ahead of time. The reflection support for
Java has a really nice feature where a schema can be generated at runtime based
on the structure of the Java class, plus some optional annotations to override
default behavior.
[https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/release-1.10.0/lang/java/avro/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/reflect/ReflectData.java#L625]
This allows Java developers to model their data using POJOs, and not have to
worry about also maintaining a compatible Avro schema. Would be great if we
could get similar functionality for C#.
