Reflection-based Avro serializer/deserializer #1458

Open 97nitt opened 3 years ago

97nitt commented 3 years ago

Description

Avro added support for serializing/deserializing plain C# objects using reflection in 1.10.0:

https://github.com/apache/avro/tree/release-1.10.0/lang/csharp/src/apache/main/Reflect

Are there plans to add new serde implementations that take advantage of this new feature?

it's not on the near term priority list, but it would be great addition, thanks for bringing it up.

@mhowlett what would be the best way to implement this? The reflection avro classes are very similar in behavior to to the SpecificReader/SpecificWriter. Would it be better to try to extend SpecificWriterImpl or just write a new ReflectWriterImp set of classes?

Assume from your statement above you'd be interested in a PR. Is that right?
