Hudson commented on AVRO-1327: ------------------------------ Integrated in AvroJava #372 (See [https://builds.apache.org/job/AvroJava/372/]) AVRO-1327. Java: Make GenericEnumSymbol implement Comparable. (Revision 1480769) Result = SUCCESS cutting : Files : * /avro/trunk/CHANGES.txt * /avro/trunk/lang/java/avro/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/generic/GenericData.java * /avro/trunk/lang/java/avro/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/generic/GenericEnumSymbol.java * /avro/trunk/lang/java/avro/src/test/java/org/apache/avro/generic/TestGenericData.java > Having GenericEnumSymbol implement Comparable (mimic'ing java's Enum) > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-1327 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1327 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: java > Affects Versions: 1.7.4 > Reporter: Hernan Otero > Assignee: Doug Cutting > Fix For: 1.7.5 > > Attachments: AVRO-1327.patch > > Original Estimate: 24h > Remaining Estimate: 24h > > It would be great if we could have GenericEnumSymbol implementing Comparable > (either using int or String rep). > This is mainly because GenericEnumSymbol is trying to mimic the > java.lang.Enum and enums are inherently comparable that's why java.lang.Enum > is Comparable. > Sorting Enum and GenericEnumSymbol is an action that we perform a lot. Making > it Comparable frees us from explicit type checking and improves general code > clarity and performance. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
