Hi, Report #7 Period: January 10 - January 16 Activities: - Fixed authentication [1]:
1. Set up password to Elasticsearch container properly 2. Set default Elasticsearch container server’s username in gora.properties 3. Added exceptions for missing arguments in authentication - Added a parameter for the XSD validation [2]: 1. Defined a parameter for the XSD validation 2. Added a test case for the parameter 3. Made ElasticsearchStore read mapping file from properties, not configuration - Implemented some basic Input-Output operations for schema management [3]: 1. Implemented delete, get and put methods 2. Implemented newInstance and getUnionSchema utility methods 3. Implemented basic serialization/deserialization for primitive AVRO types Here are links to the commits: [1] https://github.com/apache/gora/commit/679b6d8f0a27b7a7be99b6e8773327d482b9996b [2] https://github.com/apache/gora/commit/0f17849a383ef5f29e650eda22fb4d3022578f43 [3] https://github.com/apache/gora/commit/474a3946ebfde25732fe16d6546aa479fc6509a0 This week I have started work on serialization/deserialization. While testing get method I found that UNION case could be a combination of NULL, STRING or another RECORD for external table references (e.g. boss for Employee). Could you explain to me what I should do in this case? I see two possible cases here: 1) Do deserialize recursively if the field value is a RECORD 2) Make another request for STRING case, where I have only key for the external object. Regards, Maria
