| <body>Read and write <a href="https://avro.apache.org/">Avro</a> data |
| in Trevni column files.</body> |
| |
| <h2>Limitations</h2> |
| |
| The current implementation does not correctly handle all Avro data. |
| In particular: |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Recursive types are not supported.</li> |
| <li>With ReflectData, fields of Java type <b>byte</b>, <b>short</b> |
| and <b>char</b> are not supported. Instead use int. </li> |
| <li>With ReflectData, Java arrays are not supported. Instead use |
| List. </li> |
| <li>An <b>enum</b> is always read as a GenericData.EnumSymbol, even |
| when SpecificData or ReflectData are used. </li> |
| </ul> |
