Mariia Mykhailova closed REEF-317.
----------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

Per REEF-1566, we're returning to ProtoBuf instead of Avro.

>            Priority: Minor
>
> REEF currently use two different serialization systems: Apache Avro and Google's protocol buffers. Of the two, Avro is the more pleasant
> one to use:
>   * It is real OSS and breaking releases don't just drop from nowhere.
>   * The .NET support is way better than in protobuf.
>   * It has a maven plugin, which means developers only need Java and
>     Maven instead of also installing protoc
> Hence, we should move towards replacing protocol buffers with Avro wherever feasible. This JIRA shall serve as the central linking / umbrella IRA for that effort.
