Robert Metzger created FLINK-6022: ------------------------------------- Summary: Improve support for Avro GenericRecord Key: FLINK-6022 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6022 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Type Serialization System Reporter: Robert Metzger
Currently, Flink is serializing the schema for each Avro GenericRecord in the stream. This leads to a lot of overhead over the wire/disk + high serialization costs. Therefore, I'm proposing to improve the support for GenericRecord in Flink by shipping the schema to each serializer through the AvroTypeInformation. Then, we can only support GenericRecords with the same type per stream, but the performance will be much better. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
