Hello,
We have a use case where one of the fields in our POJO is a Map<String,
Object>. The values of this map could be any of the native types (Int,
Long, String, etc.). We will also have use cases where the object could be
a Date or Timestamp. Since Date and Timestamp are logical types that are
represented as Int and Long respectively and we want to support Ints and
Long as native datatypes, we don't really know how to represent this in
Avro format. We tried something like this:
{"type":"map","values":["int","long","float","double","string","boolean",
{ "type" : "long", "logicalType" : "timestamp-micros"}]}
We are unable to parse this schema since we have two long types here. If we
remove the long datatype and just keep the logical type entry, we will end
up treating all longs as timestamps which we don't want. Do you have any
idea about this and how should we proceed?
