This PR replaces
avro-rs
byavro-schema
(authored by me).Background
While working on reading from Avro some months ago, and now on #690, I noticed 4 issues with
avro-rs
, some of which are blocking:Schema::Union
since both its properties and the constructor are private :/avro-rs
to write schemas incorrectlyavro-rs
drags dependencies and code to deserialize from Avro, but we do not use it since we implement deserializers directly to arrowavro-rs
is unmaintained (its new home seems so as well), and some of my PRs there are not being merged or dragged upstreamThis PR
Given the above, I wrote a new crate,
avro-schema
, containing the declaration of the Avro schema (as per spec) in Rust. This hopefully offers more flexibility and unblocks #690The other added bonus are:
serde
andserde_json
