-------------------------------------------
HI [~rmetzger], does this apply also to Thrift and Protobuf?
Is it the case to open an issue also for them?
> Improve support for Avro GenericRecord
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-6022
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6022
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Type Serialization System
> Reporter: Robert Metzger
>
> Currently, Flink is serializing the schema for each Avro GenericRecord in the
> stream.
> This leads to a lot of overhead over the wire/disk + high serialization costs.
> Therefore, I'm proposing to improve the support for GenericRecord in Flink by
> shipping the schema to each serializer through the AvroTypeInformation.
> Then, we can only support GenericRecords with the same type per stream, but
> the performance will be much better.
