Hi Wolfgang! The current avro spec mentions that when HTTP is being used as a transport for an Avro-defined protocol that the content type 'avro/binary' should be used.[1] There's an open issue[2] about this not being a valid content type, though there hasn't been movement in a while.
AFAICT, this means there isn't a general best practice at the moment. I have some ideas on the matter, perhaps we could discuss this on the dev list and then update the relevant jira? -Sean [1]: http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#HTTP+as+Transport [2]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-488 On Mon, Oct 22, 2012 at 5:04 PM, Wolfgang Hoschek <[email protected]>wrote: > What's the preferred mime type for binary avro and json formatted avro > files that I should use in an app? > For example "application/avro+binary", "application/avro+json"? > > Thanks, > Wolfgang > -- Sean Busbey Solutions Architect Cloudera, Inc.
