["Sergei Kuzmin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1291?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Sergei Kuzmin updated AVRO-1291:
--------------------------------
    Affects Version/s: 1.7.7
         Release Note: 
This patch modifies DatumReader and DatumWriter to allow memory serialization/deserialization to plain format (already supported), strict JSON (json.dumps produces valid strict avro json), and linkedin Pegasus format (you can attach attach json.dumps(myobject) while making calls to rest.li servers)

               Status: Patch Available  (was: Open)

Now you may supply avro.HINTS_NONE (default), HINTS_PEGASUS (Pegasus style de-/serialization), and HINTS_ALL (strict JSON de-/serialization) to DatumReader/Writer

> The Python Avro libraries don't actually have a proper JSON decoder or encoder, because they don't handle the [type-hinting for unions|http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#json_encoding] properly.
> The Python {{avro.io}} library should provide a pair of {{StrictJsonEncoder,StrictJsonDecoder}}} classes that correctly include (and decode) the type hints when the schema expects a union.
> Jonathan Coveney [raised this concern|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/avro-user/201304.mbox/%3CCAKne9Z6nkYXwb4QzPr4qNyH1o7TnL1674MspgnHuKMuD2imguQ%40mail.gmail.com%3E] on the Avro User mailing list.
