This page describes the Avro support for Ultra Format Definition Language (UFDL). This functionality enables you to compile Avro definitions, to encode data into, and from the Avro format. A schema in Avro is represented in JSON. You can implement non-protocol data issues in an Analysis agent.

The following limitations apply for the Avro support in:

  • Line and Column are not fully implemented.
  • No string values are permitted in APL for the enum type.
  • Encoding the Avro object container file is not supported.
  • aliases are not fully supported.
  • default is not fully supported.
  • Cross references to other Ultra definitions are not supported.
  • array of arrays is not correctly implemented. For example, array of array of x is implemented with array of y, where y is a record with one value field. This value field is an array of x.
  • map of x is implemented via an array of y, where y is a record with two fields: key and value, where value is x.
