Sergei Kuzmin commented on AVRO-1618:
-------------------------------------
I've added the proposed patch to related issue AVRO-1291. It introduces
argument in DatumReader/Writer which selects the de-/serialization schema:
flat(current), rest.li Pegasus, and strict avro JSON.
> Allow user to "clean up" unions into more conventional dicts in json encoding

> In Avro's JSON encoding, unions are implemented in a tagged fashion; walking
> through this data structure is somewhat cumbersome. It would be good to have
> a way of "decoding" this tagged-union data structure into a more conventional
> dict where the union element is directly present without the tag.
