One option is:
@logicalType("localdate")
record Date {
/** the year */
int year;
/** the month of year */
int month;
/** the day of month */
int day;
}
If you want to , you should be able to use the logicalType facility to map it
to an existing type…

Subject: What is the recommended way to store a Date field in Avro ?
I don't see a Date data type in the spec:
http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#schema_primitive
I've seen some old discussions in the ML and issues suggesting to serialize it
using the UNIX epoch in a long value.
However, how do we store events older than 1970 like birthdate ?
