Unable to generate namespace - need advice #19

Closed kartgk closed 5 years ago

kartgk commented 5 years ago

We need to generate a namespace in the spec as below { "type" : "record", "name" : "userInfo", "namespace" : "my.example", "fields" : [{"name" : "age", "type" : "int"}] }

How to do that automatically when converting an xsd. Should we add anything to config.yml or something to xsd. Please guide.

why do you want to put the namespace in the there?? avsc has a pre-defined format, so putting anything there is useless, by default the namespace information goes into the source tag

this way for example "fields": [ { "name": "BookName", "type": [ "null", "string" ], "source": "element http://www.books.com/XML:BookName" } ]

The namespace element will be used to generate Java classes in specified package / namespace. See the example mentioned here https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.2/gettingstartedjava.html

hey as i said i have already handled that by adding the namespace in the source, just try converting the code and get back if you have trouble..

I actually don't have much time to spend on this to re-write the funtionality that is working in a different way As they say "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

ok sure, Thanks for responding.

GeethanadhP commented 5 years ago

try using it once, see if you have trouble reading the data

but if you are trying to get only the avsc file then i can't help right now, but may be later in the future :)
