> By the way, we have what we believe to be the most correct and complete Rust > implementation of Avro here: > https://github.com/MaterializeInc/materialize/tree/main/src/avro Hi. I spent a lot of time searching for perfect Avro implementation for Rust. And indeed Materialize implementation turned to be the best as I think. Still, I rejected it because "avro_derive" doesn't work for Rust enums (with data). I. e. I wanted Rust enums to be converted to Avro unions. I rejected other Rust implementations for various reasons, too. So I wrote my own. (I can show code, but note that my implementation is incomplete.) Now (because of various Avro problems) I think I will throw away this code and simply will create my own binary format instead.
I indeed suggest Avro project to base its Rust implementation on Materialize's code, not on "avro-rs" from https://crates.io/crates/avro-rs . "avro-rs" doesn't even support recursive types. And adding recursive types support will require major rewrite. There is pull request on their github for recursive types, but it's still unmerged == Askar Safin http://safinaskar.com https://sr.ht/~safinaskar https://github.com/safinaskar
