Hi, I am new in using Protobuf for golang.
https://github.com/golang/protobuf Using golang Protobuf, within *package **foo*, I created *message TaskJobEntity* which is a combination of other messages: message TaskJobEntity { JobEntity job = 1; TaskEntity task = 2; map<int64, JobEntity> dependent_jobs = 3; } Which is used within *package foo* response as part a *map*: message ListTaskJobsResponse { *map**<string, TaskJobEntity>** task_jobs* = 1; ServiceStatus status = 2; } Now within another Protobuf *package bar*, I would like to define response that includes *message TaskJobEntity* defined in *package **foo*, however, as far as I can determine, a *proto3* package cannot reference another proto3 package (is this determination correct?). My goal is to add *map<string, foo.TaskJobEntity> task_jobs* to *package bar* defined response. Here is how I approaching to get to this goal. I have found that map of *interface{}* is not supported in Protobuf. So, is using *google.protobuf.Any* the next best solution? message ImportStatsResponse { string task_id = 1; // map<string, mvregistrypb.TaskJobEntity> task_jobs = 2; // map<string, interface{}> task_jobs = 2; map<string, google.protobuf.Any> task_jobs = 2; ServiceStatus status = 3; } Recommendations? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
