Hi gang,
I'm trying to build a JSON schema with a custom type as the field instead
of just a String. Is "java-class" supposed to work in that use case? I
can't seem to make any progress.
Example schema (Foo.avsc):
{
"namespace" : "com.example",
"type" : "record",
"name" : "Foo",
"fields" : [
{ "name" : "batchId", "type" : "long" },
{ "name" : "timestamp", "type" : "string", "java-class" :
"com.example.Timestamp" }
]
}
The Timestamp class has a public constructor which takes a single String
argument. I even tried annotating it with @Stringable. However, the
generated java class always uses String, not my custom type.
$ java -jar ~/Downloads/avro-tools-1.7.6.jar compile -string schema
src/main/avro/Foo.avsc /tmp/foo
>From the generated .java file
...
/**
* All-args constructor.
*/
public Foo(java.lang.Long batchId, java.lang.String timestamp) {
this.batchId = batchId;
this.timestamp = timestamp;
}
...
Any help appreciated,
- Ian.
