Serializing Object Graphs with Avro (moved from dev-list)

[Hans Marggraff <hm...@qint.de>]

Hi,

I am currently planning the integration of ReportsAnywhere with HBase.
Avro seems to be a good candidate for data transfer.
Often the reporting data, is a tightly coupled object graph. (I.e. some 
objects appear once, but are referenced many times from other objects, 
e.g. a list of invoices, that refer to shared customer and product objects)
Unfortunately I can not declare this in Avro.
Do others have this requirement, and how did you solve it?
