All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializer<T>

public class AvroSpecificSerializer<T extends org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificRecord>
extends java.lang.Object
implements Serializer<T>

Avro serializer that relies on generated Java classes for schemas and protocols.

This API is recommended for most RPC uses and for data applications that always use the same datatypes, i.e., whose schemas are known at compile time. For data applications that accept dynamic datatypes the generic API is recommended.
