                 Key: AVRO-3434
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3434
             Project: Apache Avro
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: csharp
            Reporter: Khrystyna Popadyuk


Hi,

I am working on a .NET/C# project that uses Kafka with Avro serialization/deserialization in an event streaming platform.

.NET Apache.Avro nuget package contains two different set of classes for serialization/deserialization:   - SpecificReader, SpecificWriter   - ReflectReader, ReflectWriter. We have chosen ReflectReader/Writer ([https://avro.apache.org/docs/current/api/csharp/html/md_src_apache_main_Reflect_README.html]) so we can use POCO classes to represent a message.

I noticed that ReflectReader/Writer does not support LogicalSchema. There are default converters and Avro field attribute instead (they are extendable and flexible).

My questions are:
 * is it intentional to not support LogicalSchema for ReflectReader/Writer?
 * does it mean that we should not mix services that use LogicalSchema (third party or just written on Java, Phyton or other languages) with ones that use ReflectReader/Writer?  

 

Thanks,

Khrystyna
