类型 描述 模式示例
null The absence of a value "null"
boolean A binary value "boolean"
int 32位带符号整数 "int"
long 64位带符号整数 "long"
float 32位单精度浮点数 "float"
double 64位双精度浮点数 "double"
bytes byte数组（8位无字符字节序列） "bytes"
string Unicode字符串 "string"
【Avro基本数据类型还可以使用更冗长的形式使用type属性来指定如{"type":"null"}】
2.Avro复杂数据类型
数据类型 类型描述 模式示例
array An ordered collection of objects. {
All objects in a particular "type": "array",
array must have the same schema. "items": "long"
}
map An unordered collection of key-value pairs. {
Keys must be strings and values may be any type, "type": "map",
although within a particular map, "values": "string"
all values must have the same schema. }
record A collection of named fields of any type. {
"type": "record",
"name": "WeatherRecord",
"doc": "A weather reading.",
"fields": [
{"name": "year", "type": "int"},
{"name": "temperature", "type": "int"},
{"name": "stationId", "type": "string"}
]
}
enum A set of named values. {
"type": "enum",
"name": "Cutlery",
"doc": "An eating utensil.",
"symbols": ["KNIFE", "FORK", "SPOON"]
}
fixed
A fixed number of 8-bit unsigned bytes.
{
"type": "fixed",
"name": "Md5Hash",
"size": 16
}
union A union of schemas. A union is represented by a JSON [
array, where each element in the array is a schema. "null",
Data represented by a union must match "string",
one of the schemas in the union. {"type": "map", "values": "string"}
]
通过上图所示，通过程序可以将本地的小文件进行打包，组装成一个大文件在HDFS中进行保存，本地的小文件成为Avro的记录。具体的程序如下面的代码所示：
//对Avro数据文件的写入
public class AVRO_WRITE {
public static final String FIELD_CONTENTS = "contents";
public static final String FIELD_FILENAME = "filename";
public static final String SCHEMA_JSON = "{\"type\": \"record\",\"name\": \"SmallFilesTest\", "
+ "\"fields\": ["
+ "{\"name\":\""
+ FIELD_FILENAME
+ "\",\"type\":\"string\"},"
+ "{\"name\":\""
+ FIELD_CONTENTS
+ "\", \"type\":\"bytes\"}]}";
public static final Schema SCHEMA = new Schema.Parser().parse(SCHEMA_JSON);
public static void writeToAvro(File srcPath, OutputStream outputStream) throws IOException {
DataFileWriter
