Doug Cutting reopened AVRO-1812:
--------------------------------
I'd like to re-open this. While logical types can be specified in IDL, it
could be made easier. We might add direct support in IDL for standard logical
types, like date, time & decimal, effectively making these first-class types in
IDL.
> IDL compiler doesn't support logical types
> ------------------------------------------

> Key: AVRO-1812
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1812
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Dustin Spicuzza
> Priority: Minor
>
> At least, as far as I can see it doesn't support it. We're looking at
> migrating to 1.8, and these additional types are a big motivator.
> I would advocate adding each one of the new logical types as supported
> primitive types in the IDL... if that sounds good to you, I can probably look
> into doing it tomorrow.
