Hi, I wanted to share information about alternative java library performing Avro serialization/deserialization which we have developed at our company. The main idea behind the library is background code generation that allows to omit avro schema analysis and with help of JIT to achieve better performance results in most popular cases than standard implementation. Current implementation has some limitations regarding more sophisticated features, but we have successfully managed to deploy it on our production environment.
You can read more at: http://techblog.rtbhouse.com/2017/04/18/fast-avro/ And you can grab the library sources at: https://github.com/RTBHOUSE/avro-fastserde I sincerely encourage everyone interested to give it a try. Any feedback would be appreciated. regards, Peter
