    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-507?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12853382#action_12853382 ] 

Jeff Hammerbacher commented on AVRO-507:
----------------------------------------

For example, here is an excerpt from an email I sent to someone working on a C# implementation to help him get the serialization interop tests working (where most implementers will start):

The schema used for testing across languages is in share/test/schemas/interop.avsc. You'll need to add some entries to the top-level build.sh script to generate interop data for reading by other languages and to read the interop data generated by other languages. See, for example, "gen_interop_data.py" and "test_datafile_interop.py" in lang/test/py for how I do things in Python.

> From recent experience and communication, getting interop testing to work is a bit of a dark art. We should have documentation, either in the Avro source tree or on the Avro wiki, to help guide future language implementers.
