I work with Chris Laws, and for our application we need to fix
AVRO-1270, to implement default values in the C API. I've looked at the
sources and understand most of it, but I could do with a few tips.  What
exactly are all the 'pieces' you're referring to handle default values?
I can see most of the TODO comments, but I'm a little lost on exactly
how to proceed.

 

I've looked at the Java API, and I noticed that they store the default
values as a JsonNode inside the Field.  At resolution time, the
GenericDatumReader converts it to Avro format (and caches it).  I don't
think I can do the same with the C bindings - is there a function to
convert a json_t  directly into the equivalent Avro type?

 

Any advice (or code) welcome :-)

Hi Guys,

I know that this one is opened for a long time now.
A fix was already applied to the C++ branch with version 1.7.7.
Any updates with regards to the C branch?
