Scott Banachowski updated AVRO-59:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: AVRO-59.patch

Here is the patch.  Currently the changes are only applied to the serializer side, but the same can be applied to the parser side since they are symmetric. 

I will likewise change the parser side if people think this is a reasonable approach.

> This is a patch I made for the serializer.  In the original version, the Serializer object has functions like putInt(), putLong(),..., i.e. each put* function has a different name.  
> This is not convenient for generic template code, because each type requires a different function call.  I moved the Serializer code to a class called Writer, that has only putValue overridden for each type, e.g. putValue(int32_t), putValue(int64_t), putValue(bool) etc.
> Generic code, such as in AvroSerializer.hh can use the generic API.  To preserve the explicit calls, Serializer still exists, but has become a thin wrapper for Writer.  The explicit calls are still useful for when you don't want implicit conversion to accidentally choose the wrong type.
