Dale Lane created FLINK-33058:
---------------------------------
Summary: Support for JSON-encoded Avro
Key: FLINK-33058
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-33058
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Formats (JSON, Avro, Parquet, ORC, SequenceFile)
Reporter: Dale Lane
Avro supports two encoding methods: binary and JSON
cf. [https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.11.1/specification/#encodings]
flink-avro currently has a hard-coded assumption that Avro data is
binary-encoded (and cannot process Avro data that has been JSON-encoded).
I propose adding a new optional format option to flink-avro: *avro.encoding*
It will support two options: 'binary' and 'json'.
It unset, it will default to 'binary' to maintain compatibility/consistency
with current behaviour.
