avro 序列化java,如何在Java中使用AVRO序列化日期

I'm actually trying to serialize objects containing dates with Avro, and the deserialized date doesn't match the expected value (tested with avro 1.7.2 and 1.7.1). Here's the class I'm serializing :

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

import java.util.Date;

public class Dummy {

private Date date;

private SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss.SSS");

public Dummy() {

}

public void setDate(Date date) {

this.date = date;

}

public Date getDate() {

return date;

}

@Override

public String toString() {

return df.format(date);

}

}

The code used to serialize / deserialize :

import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;

import java.io.IOException;

import java.util.Date;

import org.apache.avro.Schema;

import org.apache.avro.io.DatumReader;

import org.apache.avro.io.DatumWriter;

import org.apache.avro.io.Decoder;

import org.apache.avro.io.DecoderFactory;

import org.apache.avro.io.Encoder;

import org.apache.avro.io.EncoderFactory;

import org.apache.avro.reflect.ReflectData;

import org.apache.avro.reflect.ReflectDatumReader;

import org.apache.avro.reflect.ReflectDatumWriter;

public class AvroSerialization {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Dummy expected = new Dummy();

expected.setDate(new Date());

System.out.println("EXPECTED: " + expected);

Schema schema = ReflectData.get().getSchema(Dummy.class);

ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

Encoder encoder = EncoderFactory.get().binaryEncoder(baos, null);

DatumWriter writer = new ReflectDatumWriter(schema);

try {

writer.write(expected, encoder);

encoder.flush();

Decoder decoder = DecoderFactory.get().binaryDecoder(baos.toByteArray(), null);

DatumReader reader = new ReflectDatumReader(schema);

Dummy actual = reader.read(null, decoder);

System.out.println("ACTUAL: " + actual);

} catch (IOException e) {

System.err.println("IOException: " + e.getMessage());

}

}

}

And the output :

EXPECTED: 06/11/2012 05:43:29.188

ACTUAL: 06/11/2012 05:43:29.387

Is it related to a known bug, or is it related to the way I'm serializing the object ?

解决方案

I think AVRO doesn't serialize date at this point.

What I would do is to wrap it in another class and store at as a long (date.gettime()) while avro folks

add this feature.

And the reason that you see different Date values is that every time that you (and avro) create

a Date object, it initializes the Date with the current System time.
