Re: array of primitives: byte[]

[Sam Groth <sg...@yahoo-inc.com>]

Use a class the implements java.util.Collection. One example would be ArrayList<byte>.

Is it allowed ? The schema I have prepared is as below and ‘pnl’ is an array of bytes.      {   "type" : "record",   "name" : "tradeDim",   "fields" : [ {     "name" : "tradeId",     "type" : "int"   }, {     "name" : "pnl",     "type" : {       "type" : "array",       "items" : "byte"     }   } ] }    DatumWriter<GenericRecord> datumWriter = new GenericDatumWriter<GenericRecord>(avroSchema); DataFileWriter dataFileWriter = new DataFileWriter<GenericRecord>(datumWriter);                                    byte arr[] = { 1,0,5,6,7,8,9  };                                        Trade tradeObj = new Trade(123, arr); GenericRecord tradeObj = new GenericData.Record(avroSchema);                                   tradeObj.put("tradeId", trade.tradeId);                                   tradeObj.put("pnl", trade.pnl);                                    dataFileWriter.append(tradeObj);                                      dataFileWriter.close();                     class  Trade { int tradeId; byte[] pnl;    public Trade(int tradeId, byte[] pnl) {  this.tradeId = tradeId;  this.pnl = pnl; } }    The error message seems to indicate that it is expecting a collection.    org.apache.avro.file.DataFileWriter$AppendWriteException: java.lang.ClassCastException: [B cannot be cast to java.util.Collection    -regards Seemanto Barua 212.298.4097
