             Summary: Support for schema fingerprints in the Ruby library
                 Key: AVRO-1694
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1694
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Daniel Schierbeck


There does not seem to be any support for generating schema fingerprints in the Ruby library. In order to avoid inlining schemas in my Avro-encoded messages I'd like to store them separately and instead write the fingerprint in the Avro metadata, thus allowing a reader to fetch and cache the actual schema from the schema registry.

In order for that to work, my Ruby writer needs to be able to actually generate a fingerprint for a schema.

Is the Ruby library being actively maintained? I would be willing to work on this myself if someone would review and merge the work.
