Apache Avro Insights

What is Apache Avro?

Apache Avro is a data serialization system. It provides rich data structures, a compact, fast, binary data format, a container file to store persistent data, remote procedure call (RPC) and simple dynamic language integration. Avro uses schema evolution to handle changes to data structures over time, making it well-suited for systems where schemas are likely to evolve, such as Hadoop-based systems.
