[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-1063) Ruby client should use multi_json rather than being locked down to yajl

["Kevin Tham (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1063?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13757103#comment-13757103 ] 

Kevin Tham commented on AVRO-1063:
----------------------------------

Is there a reason why this has gone unmerged for over a year? I would really like to see Paul Dlug's changes merged in... all tests pass and I don't see any issues with replacing yajl with multi_json. This is a problem for those who wish to use the ruby library with JRuby.

> The avro ruby client uses yajl for JSON serialization which is just one of many suitable JSON implementations for ruby. The multi_json gem provides a wrapper for JSON serialization selecting the fastest library available (Oj is now even faster than Yajl) and falling back to a pure ruby implementation bundled with multi_json. Requiring yajl also precludes the ruby gem from being used under jruby since it requires a C extension.
