[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-860?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13065467#comment-13065467 ]
Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-860:
-----------------------------------
The problem looks to be in GenericData#writeEscapedString(), added in AVRO-713.
> Invalid JSON when printing out records with unicode
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-860
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-860
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.5.1
> Reporter: Miki Tebeka
> Labels: java, json, unicode
>
> I have an avro file, that when printed returns invalid JSON.
> The code for iterating and printing is:
> {code}
> DatumReader<GenericRecord> reader = new GenericDatumReader<GenericRecord>();
> DataFileReader<GenericRecord> dataFileReader =
> new DataFileReader<GenericRecord>(data, reader);
> while (dataFileReader.hasNext()) {
> System.out.println(dataFileReader.next().toString());
> }
> {code}
> and the relevant JSON snippet is
> {code}
> "description": "Move™ offers advertisers the opportunity to deliver messages to consumers at a time when consumers are making the biggest purchases of their lives\uMOVE™ OFFERS ADVERTISERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO DELIVER MESSAGES TO CONSUMERS AT A TIME WHEN CONSUMERS ARE MAKING THE BIGGEST PURCHASES OF THEIR LIVES—OR REMODELING, REDECORATING AND MAINTAINING THEIR MOST IMPORTANT ASSETS.or remodeling, redecorating and maintaining their most important assets.",
> {code}
> (The \uMOVE is the problematic part).
> However if I do:
> {code}
> GenericRecord record = dataFileReader.next();
> Utf8 desc = (Utf8)record.get("description");
> System.out.println(desc);
> {code}
> Then I get
> {code}
> Move™ offers advertisers the opportunity to deliver messages to consumers at a time when consumers are making the biggest purchases of their lives—or remodeling, redecorating and maintaining their most important assets.
> {code}
