Why Avro?



Why Avro?..

Answer / Chandramani Tiwari

Avro is used primarily because it offers several advantages over other serialization formats such as Protocol Buffers and Thrift:
1. Schema evolution support: Avro allows the schema to be modified without breaking compatibility.
2. Better handling of complex data structures: Avro can handle arrays, maps, and unions more efficiently than other formats.
3. Language independence: Avro is language-agnostic, making it easy to work with different programming languages.
