Getting started with java
Hi,
I'm trying the example from http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.3/gettingstartedjava.html site.
Serializing and deserializing with code generation
Schema : user.avsc
{"namespace": "example.avro",
"type": "record",
"name": "User",
"fields": [
{"name": "name", "type": "string"},
{"name": "favorite_number", "type": ["int", "null"]},
{"name": "favorite_color", "type": ["string", "null"]}
]
}
And compiled schema as
java -jar /home/user/Avro/avro-tools-1.7.3.jar compile schema user.avsc .
It created "User.java" file in example.avro folder
**********************
SpecificMain.java
------
package example.avro;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.apache.avro.file.DataFileReader;
import org.apache.avro.file.DataFileWriter;
import org.apache.avro.io.DatumReader;
import org.apache.avro.io.DatumWriter;
import org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificDatumReader;
import org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificDatumWriter;
import example.avro.User;
public class SpecificMain {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
User user1 = new User();
user1.setName("Alyssa");
user1.setFavoriteNumber(256);
// Leave favorite color null
// Alternate constructor
User user2 = new User("Ben", 7, "red");
// Construct via builder
User user3 = User.newBuilder()
.setName("Charlie")
.setFavoriteColor("blue")
.setFavoriteNumber(null)
.build();
// Serialize user1 and user2 to disk
File file = new File("users.avro");
DatumWriter<User> userDatumWriter = new SpecificDatumWriter<User>(User.class);
DataFileWriter<User> dataFileWriter = new DataFileWriter<User>(userDatumWriter);
dataFileWriter.create(user1.getSchema(), file);
dataFileWriter.append(user1);
dataFileWriter.append(user2);
dataFileWriter.append(user3);
dataFileWriter.close();
// Deserialize Users from disk
DatumReader<User> userDatumReader = new SpecificDatumReader<User>(User.class);
DataFileReader<User> dataFileReader = new DataFileReader<User>(file, userDatumReader);
User user = null;
while (dataFileReader.hasNext()) {
// Reuse user object by passing it to next(). This saves us from
// allocating and garbage collecting many objects for files with
// many items.
user = dataFileReader.next(user);
System.out.println(user);
}
}
}
**************
I placed this above SpecificMain.java in example.avro folder and compiled but it is giving me error like
--------------
SpecificMain.java:17: cannot find symbol
symbol : class User
location: class example.avro.SpecificMain
User user1 = new User();
^
--------------
Am I doing it right? Or Did I miss anything ?
Thanks & Regards,
Pradeep C Kanchgar
