Hi,
We serialized the schema using the following code.
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
BinaryEncoder encoder = EncoderFactory.get().binaryEncoder(out, null);
DatumWriter<Record> writer = new SpecificDatumWriter<Record>(schema);
writer.write(record, encoder);
encoder.flush();
out.close();
Here, record is of type org.apache.avro.generic.GenericData.Record.
Thanks and Regards,
Arun G
