[jira] Commented: (AVRO-660) Improve Avro documentation with examples of non-trivial schemas and protocols as well as implementations of corner cases

Posted by "Jeff Hammerbacher (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-660?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12907893#action_12907893 ] 

Jeff Hammerbacher commented on AVRO-660:
----------------------------------------

In particular, it would be useful to have examples of how to evolve schemas and protocols. For the latter issue, the Thrift paper does a nice job of describing how Thrift handles the four cases of {old client, new client} x {old server, new server}. A similar description of how Avro would handle those four cases would be quite useful.
