goavro

Note: This is a point and time fork of linkedin/goavro. The linkedin library went through a major change to move to an api v2. It is much better and you should migrate your code to that. Our fork of it can be found at MediaMath/gaovro.v2, and if you are writing code for MediaMath you should use that. This repo will not attempt to maintain parity with the linkedin version and exists for backwards compatibility. Our official fork will attempt to maintain parity on an as needed basis.

Description

Goavro is a golang library that implements encoding and decoding of Avro data. It provides an interface to encode data directly to io.Writer streams, and decoding data from io.Reader streams. Goavro fully adheres to version 1.7.7 of the Avro specification.

Resources

Usage

Documentation is available via GoDoc.

Please see the example programs in the examples directory for reference.

Although the Avro specification defines the terms reader and writer as library components which read and write Avro data, Go has particular strong emphasis on what a Reader and Writer are. Namely, it is bad form to define an interface which shares the same name but uses a different method signature. In other words, all Reader interfaces should effectively mirror an io.Reader, and all Writer interfaces should mirror an io.Writer. Adherence to this standard is essential to keep libraries easy to use.

An io.Reader reads data from the stream specified at object creation time into the parameterized slice of bytes and returns both the number of bytes read and an error. An Avro reader also reads from a stream, but it is possible to create an Avro reader that can read from one stream, then read from another, using the same compiled schema. In other words, an Avro reader puts the schema first, whereas an io.Reader puts the stream first.

To support an Avro reader being able to read from multiple streams, its API must be different and incompatible with io.Reader interface from the Go standard. Instead, an Avro reader looks more like the Unmarshal functionality provided by the Go encoding/json library.

Codec interface

Creating a goavro.Codec is fast, but ought to be performed exactly once per Avro schema to process. Once a Codec is created, it may be used multiple times to either decode or encode data.

The Codec interface exposes two methods, one to encode data and one to decode data. They encode directly into an io.Writer, and decode directly from an io.Reader.

A particular Codec can work with only one Avro schema. However, there is no practical limit to how many Codecs may be created and used in a program. Internally a goavro.codec is merely a namespace and two function pointers to decode and encode data. Because codecs maintain no state, the same Codec can be concurrently used on different io streams as desired.

    func (c *codec) Decode(r io.Reader) (interface{}, error)
    func (c *codec) Encode(w io.Writer, datum interface{}) error
Creating a Codec

The below is an example of creating a Codec from a provided JSON schema. Codecs do not maintain any internal state, and may be used multiple times on multiple io.Readers, io.Writers, concurrently if desired.

    someRecordSchemaJson := `{"type":"record","name":"Foo","fields":[{"name":"field1","type":"int"},{"name":"field2","type":"string","default":"happy"}]}`
    codec, err := goavro.NewCodec(someRecordSchemaJson)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
Decoding data

The below is a simplified example of decoding binary data to be read from an io.Reader into a single datum using a previously compiled Codec. The Decode method of the Codec interface may be called multiple times, each time on the same or on different io.Reader objects.

    // uses codec created above, and an io.Reader, definition not shown
    datum, err := codec.Decode(r)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
Encoding data

The below is a simplified example of encoding a single datum into the Avro binary format using a previously compiled Codec. The Encode method of the Codec interface may be called multiple times, each time on the same or on different io.Writer objects.

    // uses codec created above, an io.Writer, definition not shown,
    // and some data
    err := codec.Encode(w, datum)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

Another example, this time leveraging bufio.Writer:

    // Encoding data using bufio.Writer to buffer the writes
    // during data encoding:

    func encodeWithBufferedWriter(c Codec, w io.Writer, datum interface{}) error {
        bw := bufio.NewWriter(w)
        err := c.Encode(bw, datum)
        if err != nil {
            return err
        }
        return bw.Flush()
    }

    err := encodeWithBufferedWriter(codec, w, datum)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
Reader and Writer helper types

The Codec interface provides means to encode and decode any Avro data, but a number of additional helper types are provided to handle streaming of Avro data.

See the example programs examples/file/reader.go and examples/file/writer.go for more context:

This example wraps the provided io.Reader in a bufio.Reader and dumps the data to standard output.

func dumpReader(r io.Reader) {
	fr, err := goavro.NewReader(goavro.BufferFromReader(r))
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("cannot create Reader: ", err)
	}
	defer func() {
		if err := fr.Close(); err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
	}()

	for fr.Scan() {
		datum, err := fr.Read()
		if err != nil {
			log.Println("cannot read datum: ", err)
			continue
		}
		fmt.Println(datum)
	}
}

This example buffers the provided io.Writer in a bufio.Writer, and writes some data to the stream.

func makeSomeData(w io.Writer) error {
    recordSchema := `
    {
      "type": "record",
      "name": "example",
      "fields": [
        {
          "type": "string",
          "name": "username"
        },
        {
          "type": "string",
          "name": "comment"
        },
        {
          "type": "long",
          "name": "timestamp"
        }
      ]
    }
    `
	fw, err := goavro.NewWriter(
		goavro.BlockSize(13), // example; default is 10
		goavro.Compression(goavro.CompressionSnappy), // default is CompressionNull
		goavro.WriterSchema(recordSchema),
		goavro.ToWriter(w))
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("cannot create Writer: ", err)
	}
	defer fw.Close()

    // make a record instance using the same schema
	someRecord, err := goavro.NewRecord(goavro.RecordSchema(recordSchema))
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	// identify field name to set datum for
	someRecord.Set("username", "Aquaman")
	someRecord.Set("comment", "The Atlantic is oddly cold this morning!")
	// you can fully qualify the field name
	someRecord.Set("com.example.timestamp", int64(1082196484))
    fw.Write(someRecord)

    // make another record
	someRecord, err = goavro.NewRecord(goavro.RecordSchema(recordSchema))
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	someRecord.Set("username", "Batman")
	someRecord.Set("comment", "Who are all of these crazies?")
	someRecord.Set("com.example.timestamp", int64(1427383430))
    fw.Write(someRecord)
}

Limitations

Goavro is a fully featured encoder and decoder of binary Avro data. It fully supports recursive data structures, unions, and namespacing. It does have a few limitations that have yet to be implemented.

Aliases

The Avro specification allows an implementation to optionally map a writer's schema to a reader's schema using aliases. Although goavro can compile schemas with aliases, it does not yet implement this feature.

JSON Encoding

The Avro Data Serialization format describes two encodings: binary and JSON. Goavro only implements binary encoding of data streams, because that is what most applications need.

Most applications will use the binary encoding, as it is smaller and faster. But, for debugging and web-based applications, the JSON encoding may sometimes be appropriate.

Note that data schemas are always encoded using JSON, as per the specification.

Kafka Streams

Kafka is the reason goavro was written. Similar to Avro Object Container Files being a layer of abstraction above Avro Data Serialization format, Kafka's use of Avro is a layer of abstraction that also sits above Avro Data Serialization format, but has its own schema. Like Avro Object Container Files, this has been implemented but removed until the API can be improved.

Default maximum length of String and Bytes fields

Because the way we currently decode String and Bytes fields is entirely stateless an Avro file could specify that a String or Bytes field is extremely large and there would be no way for the decode function to know anything was wrong. Instead of checking the available system memory on every decode operation, we've instead decided to opt for what we believe to be a sane default (math.MaxInt32 or ~2.2GB) but leave that variable exported so that a user can change the variable if they need to exceed this limit.

Constants

View Source 
const (
	CompressionNull    = "null"
	CompressionDeflate = "deflate"
	CompressionSnappy  = "snappy"
)

Compression codecs that Reader and Writer instances can process.

View Source 
const DefaultWriterBlockSize = 10

DefaultWriterBlockSize specifies the default number of datum items in a block when writing.

Variables

View Source 
var MaxDecodeSize = int64(math.MaxInt32)

MaxDecodeSize defines the maximum length a String or Bytes field. This is here because the way we decode Strings and Bytes fields is entirely stateless. This means we can't follow the example set by other encoders who look at how much data is left to be decoded and return an error if that amount is exceeded.

If you need to decode Avro data which contains strings or bytes fields longer than ~2.2GB, modify this value at your discretion.

On a 32bit platform this value should not exceed math.MaxInt32, as Go's make function is limited to only creating MaxInt number of objects at a time. On a 64bit platform the limitation is primarily your avaialble memory.

Example: 

func init() {
	goavro.MaxDecodeSize = (1 << 40) // 1 TB of runes or bytes
}

Functions

func IsCompressionCodecSupported 

func IsCompressionCodecSupported(someCodec string) bool

	NewWriter(...WriterSetter) (*Writer, error)
}

The Codec interface supports both Decode and Encode operations.

func NewCodec 

func NewCodec(someJSONSchema string, setters ...CodecSetter) (Codec, error)

NewCodec creates a new object that supports both the Decode and Encode methods. It requires an Avro schema, expressed as a JSON string. 

  codec, err := goavro.NewCodec(someJSONSchema)
  if err != nil {
      return nil, err
  }

  // Decoding data uses codec created above, and an io.Reader,
  // definition not shown:
  datum, err := codec.Decode(r)
  if err != nil {
      return nil, err
  }

  // Encoding data uses codec created above, an io.Writer,
  // definition not shown, and some data:
  err := codec.Encode(w, datum)
  if err != nil {
      return nil, err
  }

  // Encoding data using bufio.Writer to buffer the writes
  // during data encoding:

  func encodeWithBufferedWriter(c Codec, w io.Writer, datum interface{}) error {
	bw := bufio.NewWriter(w)
	err := c.Encode(bw, datum)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

type Fixed 

type Fixed struct {
	Name  string
	Value []byte
}

Fixed is an abstract data type used to hold data corresponding to an Avro 'Fixed' type. Whenever an Avro schema specifies a "Fixed" type, this library's Decode method will return a Fixed value initialized to the Fixed name, and value read from the io.Reader. Likewise, when using Encode to convert data to an Avro record, it is necessary to create and send a Fixed instance to the Encode method.

     someRecord, err := goavro.NewRecord(goavro.RecordSchema(recordSchema))
     if err != nil {
         return err
     }
     // Once you have a Record, you can set the values of the various fields.
     someRecord.Set("username", "Aquaman")
     someRecord.Set("comment", "The Atlantic is oddly cold this morning!")

BlockSize specifies the default number of data items to be grouped in a block, compressed, and written to the stream.

It is a valid use case to set both BlockTick and BlockSize. For example, if BlockTick is set to time.Minute and BlockSize is set to 20, but only 13 items are written to the Writer in a minute, those 13 items will be grouped in a block, compressed, and written to the stream without waiting for the addition 7 items to complete the BlockSize.

By default, BlockSize is set to DefaultWriterBlockSize.

func BlockTick 

func BlockTick(blockTick time.Duration) WriterSetter

BlockTick specifies the duration of time between when the Writer will flush the blocks to the stream.

It is a valid use case to set both BlockTick and BlockSize. For example, if BlockTick is set to time.Minute and BlockSize is set to 20, but only 13 items are written to the Writer in a minute, those 13 items will be grouped in a block, compressed, and written to the stream without waiting for the addition 7 items to complete the BlockSize.

By default, BlockTick is set to 0 and is ignored. This causes the blocker to fill up its internal queue of data to BlockSize items before flushing them to the stream.

func BufferToWriter 

func BufferToWriter(w io.Writer) WriterSetter

BufferToWriter specifies which io.Writer is the target of the Writer stream, and creates a bufio.Writer around that io.Writer. It is invalid to specify both BufferToWriter and ToWriter. Exactly one of these must be called for a given Writer initialization.

func Compression 

func Compression(someCompressionCodec string) WriterSetter

Compression is used to set the compression codec of a new Writer instance.

func Metadata 

func Metadata(meta map[string][]byte) WriterSetter

Metadata is used to set metadata information in the header

func Sync 

func Sync(someSync []byte) WriterSetter

Sync is used to set the sync marker bytes of a new instance. It checks to ensure the byte slice is 16 bytes long, but does not check that it has been set to something other than the zero value. Usually you can elide the `Sync` call and allow it to create a random byte sequence.

func ToWriter 

func ToWriter(w io.Writer) WriterSetter

ToWriter specifies which io.Writer is the target of the Writer stream. It is invalid to specify both BufferToWriter and ToWriter. Exactly one of these must be called for a given Writer initialization.

func UseCodec 

func UseCodec(codec Codec) WriterSetter

UseCodec specifies that a Writer should reuse an existing Codec rather than creating a new one, needlessly recompling the same schema.

func WriterSchema 

func WriterSchema(someSchema string) WriterSetter

WriterSchema is used to set the Avro schema of a new instance. If a codec has already been compiled for the schema, it is faster to use the UseCodec method instead of WriterSchema.
