[jira] [Reopened] (AVRO-1812) IDL compiler doesn't support logical types

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1812?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Doug Cutting reopened AVRO-1812:
--------------------------------

I'd like to re-open this.  While logical types can be specified in IDL, it could be made easier.  We might add direct support in IDL for standard logical types, like date, time & decimal, effectively making these first-class types in IDL.

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1812
>             Project: Avro
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: java
>    Affects Versions: 1.8.0
>            Reporter: Dustin Spicuzza
>            Priority: Minor

> At least, as far as I can see it doesn't support it. We're looking at migrating to 1.8, and these additional types are a big motivator.
> I would advocate adding each one of the new logical types as supported primitive types in the IDL... if that sounds good to you, I can probably look into doing it tomorrow.
