• Open Table Formats Such as Apache Iceberg Are Inevitable for Analytical Data

  Apache AVRO [1] is one but it has been largely replaced by Parquet [2] which is a hybrid row/columnar format [1] https://avro.apache.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Generating Avro Schemas from Go types

  The most common format for describing schema in this scenario is Apache Avro. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• gRPC on the client side

  Other serialization alternatives have a schema validation option: e.g., Avro, Kryo and Protocol Buffers. Interestingly enough, gRPC uses Protobuf to offer RPC across distributed components:. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

  Apache Avro is a data serialization system, for more information visit Apache Avro. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• tl;dr of Data Contracts

  Once things like JSON became more popular Apache Avro appeared. You can define Avro files which can then be generated into Python, Java C, Ruby, etc.. classes. Source: over 1 year ago

  Avro, a data serialization system based on JSON schemas. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Events: Fat or Thin?

  Supporting multiple versions of an event schema is a solved problem. Apache Avro with a published schema hash in a message header is one solution. https://avro.apache.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Marshaling objects in modern Java

  If binary format is OK, use Protocol Buffer or Avro . Note that in the case of binary formats, you need a schema to serialize/de-serialize your data. Therefore, you'd probably want a schema registry to store all past and present schemas for later usage. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Serialization

  When serializing a value, we convert it to a different sequence of bytes. This sequence is often a human-readable string (all the bytes can be read and interpreted by humans as text), but not necessarily. The serialized format can be binary. Binary data (example: an image) is still bytes, but makes use of non-text characters, so it looks like gibberish in a text editor. Binary formats won't make sense unless... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Dreaming and Breaking Molds – Establishing Best Practices with Scott Haines

  Scott: It's like a very large row of Avro data that had everything you could possibly ever need. It was like 115 columns. Most things were null, and it became every data type you'd ever want. It's like, is it mobile? Look for mobile_. It's like, this is really crappy. I didn't know about, I guess, the hardships of data engineering at that point. Because this was the first time where I was like, okay, you're on the... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Apache Hudi - The Streaming Data Lake Platform

  Hudi is designed around the notion of base file and delta log files that store updates/deltas to a given base file (called a file slice). Their formats are pluggable, with Parquet (columnar access) and HFile (indexed access) being the supported base file formats today. The delta logs encode data in Avro (row oriented) format for speedier logging (just like Kafka topics for e.g). Going forward, we plan to inline... - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago
