Hi,
We have a requirement to send typed(key-value) pairs from server to clients
(in various languages).
Value can be one of primitive types or a map of same (string, Object) type.
One option is to construct record schema on the fly and second option is to
use unions to write schema in a general way.
Problems with 1 is that we have to construct schema everytime depending upon
keys and then attach the entire string schema to a relatively small record.
But in second schema, u don't need to write schema on the wire as it is
present with client also.
I have written one such sample schema:
{"type":"map","values":["int","long","float","double","string","boolean",{"type":"map","values":["int","long","float","double","string","boolean"]}]}
Do you guys think writing something of this sort makes sense or is there any
better approach to this?
Thanks,
Gaurav Nanda
