[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-1625) Adding Microsoft C# Implementation
to the project
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1625?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14980190#comment-14980190 ]
Alexey Orlov commented on AVRO-1625:
------------------------------------
It was suggested to me lately that we reopen discussion on adding Microsoft C# Implementation to the project. The nature of implementation and further information is presented at the first description of this issue (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1625) So the feedback is welcome.
Thank you,
Alexey

> Key: AVRO-1625
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1625
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: csharp
> Reporter: Alexey Orlov
>
> In April 2014 Microsoft released to the public its own C# implementation of Avro. The code is completely new. The reasoning for the project was to overcome the limitations of C# implementation available as a component of Apache project at the time we have commenced the effort (early 2013). In particular:
> - Low performance
> - Missing support of serialization using Reflection
> Our implementation is called Microsoft Avro Library and available here https://hadoopsdk.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Avro%20Library (together with the code)
> Throughout 2014 we have released some updates, fixed bugs, added a feature and now would like to start a conversation about contributing our library to the project.
> Doug Cutting suggested I start a Jira issue for this conversation, so I’m following the advice (see http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/avro-dev/201406.mbox/%3c50937B33CDF7CA46AFCC1F1D04C6551A0A01B213@DB3EX14MBXC327.europe.corp.microsoft.com%3e)
> Some background information on today’s state of the library:
> - The library supports binary serialization only
> - RPC support is NOT implemented
> - The library is compiled vs Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0. We have NOT tested it on other platforms (e.g. with Mono).
> And about me. I’m a Microsoft employee and Program Manager responsible for the project.
> Looking forward getting the feedback.
> Thank you,
> Alexey
