Fixed Type

Hi all,

"size: an integer, specifying the number of bytes per value" is
written In Fixed Type Section  of Documentation. If I want to limit
size of Integer or String type field. How can I do in Avro ?

Thanks

Hi Talat,

If you want to enforce a maximum size, you'll need to do that in your application before writing the data to Avro. Avro only has variable-sized types (int, string, bytes, ...) and a fixed-size type (fixed) but no configurable size constraint.
