Apache Avro 介绍

Download

Avro implementations for C, C++, C#, Java, PHP, Python, and Ruby can be downloaded from the Apache Avro™ Releases page. This guide uses Avro 1.7.7, the latest version at the time of writing. For the examples in this guide, download avro-1.7.7.jar and avro-tools-1.7.7.jar. The Avro Java implementation also depends on the Jackson JSON library. From the Jackson download page, download the core-asl and mapper-asl jars. Add avro-1.7.7.jar and the Jackson jars to your project’s classpath (avro-tools will be used for code generation).

Alternatively, if you are using Maven, add the following dependency to your POM:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.avrogroupId>
  <artifactId>avroartifactId>
  <version>1.7.7version>
dependency>

As well as the Avro Maven plugin (for performing code generation):

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.avrogroupId>
  <artifactId>avro-maven-pluginartifactId>
  <version>1.7.7version>
  <executions>

You may also build the required Avro jars from source. Building Avro is beyond the scope of this guide; see the Build Documentation page in the wiki for more information.
