Re: supporting a "unit" field for avro schema

Regarding schema, my proposal for fingerprints would be that units are fingerprinted based on their canonical form, as defined here . Any two unit expressions having the same canonical form (including the corresponding

Re: supporting a "unit" field for avro schema

I think we should approach this idea in two parts: 1) The schema. Things like does a different unit mean a different schema fingerprint even though the bytes remain the same. What does a different unit mean for schema evolution. 2) Language specifics. Scala has different possibilities than Java.

Re: supporting a "unit" field for avro schema

I've been puzzling over what can be done to support this in more widely-used languages. The dilemma relative to the current language ecosystem is that languages with "modern" type systems (Haskell, Rust, Scala, etc) capable of supporting compile-time unit checking, in the particular style I've

Re: supporting a "unit" field for avro schema

Hi, I attended your talk in Berlin and at the end I thought "too bad this is only Scala". I think it's a good idea to have this in Avro. The details will be tricky: How to encode the units in the schema for example. Especially because of the automatic conversion you spoke about. Niels On Fri,
