[jira] Updated: (AVRO-372) Rename genavro to something like AvroIDL

["Doug Cutting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-372?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Doug Cutting updated AVRO-372:
------------------------------

     Hadoop Flags: [Incompatible change]
    Fix Version/s: 1.4.0
      Component/s: java

> Since it doesn't describe an interface (to which we usually associate behavior), IDL doesn't seem right.

It does define an interface: it's an alternate syntax for an Avro RPC protocol.

It would be gppd to do this for 1.4.  My preference is AvroIDL.  Unless someone objects, I'll start work on this soon.

> No one likes the name genavro. Let's rename to one of these:
> - AvroIDL (Interface Description Language)
> - AvroHDL (Highlevel Description Language)
> - AvroDL (Description Language)
> The abbreviation IDL might conjure up CORBA nightmares for people. Thoughts?
