Hi Folks,
I am currently modeling a chain of data structures which reference the next
sequentially.
This is as follows
Product [0]
ProductType [1]
Metadata [2]
.... more nesting
The nesting does stop shortly after Metadata, however I am seeking advice
as to when nesting should stop?
In this case, Metadata is a multivalued metadata container... essentially a
Map.
I would quite like to keep the existing Metadata implementation, but then I
cannot reference this in my Avro Schema. I always need to model it, is this
correct?
If this is the case how do I go about adding the expressiveness of the
following methods in my AVSC?
public void addMetadata(String group, Metadata metadata) {
public void addMetadata(String key, String value) {
public void addMetadata(Hashtable<String, Object> metadata) {
As always, thank you guys very much for any direction.
BTW, Doug, if you are there and read this, I'm currently baking up an
implementation for pre-defined types within the execution of the
GoraCompiler. Thanks for the previous pointer on this one.
Lewis
