Re: AVRO Union type support in Flink

[Timo Walther]

Hi Vishnu,

I took a look into the code. Actually, we should support it. However, 
those types might be mapped to Java Objects that will be serialized with 
our generic Kryo serializer. Have you tested it?

Regards,
Timo

Hey Vishnu,

For those of us on the list that are not very familiar with Flink and 
Avro can you give a pointed to the docs you are referring to and how 
you intend to use it? Just so we gain understanding as well.

Thanks,
Martin

    Hi All,

    Does Flink support AVRO union types - Documentation says it
    supports nullable types: {"name": "type_double_test", "type":
    ["null", "double"]}

    But my schema has something like : {"name": "union_field", "type":
    ["string", "double"]}

    Thanks
