["Ryan Blue (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1812?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15537381#comment-15537381 ] 

Ryan Blue commented on AVRO-1812:
---------------------------------

We do have support for types in the IDL, added as part of AVRO-1684. It adds [date, time_ms, and timestamp_ms|https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/86/files#diff-136e900cc327974ae416a44248e47d0aR1488]. I think there was a similar change when decimal was added. Is this was you had in mind?

> At least, as far as I can see it doesn't support it. We're looking at migrating to 1.8, and these additional types are a big motivator.
> I would advocate adding each one of the new logical types as supported primitive types in the IDL... if that sounds good to you, I can probably look into doing it tomorrow.
