Apache Avro Overview
Avro allows you to define message types and a protocol using a json like format and then generate java code for the specified types and messages. An example of how a schema looks like is below.

{code} h3. Apache Avro Overview Avro allows you to define message types and a protocol using a json like format and then generate java code for the specified types and messages. An example of how a schema looks like is below. {code:xml} {"namespace": "org.apache.camel.avro.generated", "protocol": "KeyValueProtocol", "types": [ {"name": "Key", "type": "record", "fields": [ {"name": "key", "type": "string"} ] }, {"name": "Value", "type": "record", "fields": [ {"name": "value", "type": "string"} ] } ], "messages": { "put": { "request": [{"name": "key", "type": "Key"}, {"name": "value", "type": "Value"} ], "response": "null" }, "get": { "request": [{"name": "key", "type": "Key"}], "response": "Value" } } } {code} |
You
...
can
...
easily
...
generate
...
classes
...
from
...
a
...
schema,
...
using
...
maven,
...
ant
...
etc.
...
More
...
details
...
can

be

found

at

the

...
...
...
.
However,
...
it
...
doesn't
...
enforce
...
a
...
schema
...
first
...
approach
...
and
...
you
...
can
...
create
...
schema
...
for
...
your
...
existing
...
classes.
...
Since
...
2.12
...
you
...
can
...
use
...
existing
...
protocol
...
interfaces
...
to
...
make
...
RCP
...
calls.
...
You
...
should
...
use
...
interface
...
for
...
the
...
protocol
...
itself
...
and
...
POJO
...
beans
...
or
...
primitive/String
...
classes
...
for
...
parameter
...
and
...
result
...
types.
...
Here
...
is
...
an
...
example
...
of
...
the
...
class
...
that
...
corresponds
...
to
...
schema
...
above:
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
{code:java} package org.apache.camel.avro.reflection; public interface KeyValueProtocol { void put(String key, Value value); Value get(String key); } class Value { private String value; public String getValue() { return value; } public void setValue(String value) { this.value = value; } } {code} _ |
Note:
...
Existing
...
classes
...
can
...
be
...
used
...
only
...
for
...
RPC
...
(see
...
below),
...
not
...
in
...
data
...
format.
Using the Avro data format
Using the avro data format is as easy as specifying that the class that you want to marshal or unmarshal in your route.

_ h3. Using the Avro data format Using the avro data format is as easy as specifying that the class that you want to marshal or unmarshal in your route. {code:xml} <camelContext id="camel" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring"> <route> <from uri="direct:in"/> <marshal> <avro instanceClass="org.apache.camel.dataformat.avro.Message"/> </marshal> <to uri="log:out"/> </route> </camelContext> {code} |
An

alternative

can

be

to

specify

the
...
dataformat
...
inside the
...
context
...
and

reference

it

from

your

route.

in

Camel
...
As
...
mentioned

above
...
Avro
...
also
...
provides
...
RPC
...
support
...
over
...
multiple
...
transports
...
such
...
as
...
http
...
and
...
netty.
...
Camel
...
provides
...
consumers
...
and
...
producers
...
for
...
these
...
two
...
transports.

The supported transport values are currently http or netty.
Since 2.12 you can specify message name right in the URI:
Code Block |
---|
} avro:[transport]:[host]:[port][/messageName][?options] |
For consumers this allows you to have multiple routes attached to the same socket. Dispatching to correct route will be done by the avro component automatically. Route with no messageName specified (if any) will be used as default.
When using camel producers for avro ipc, the "in" message body needs to contain the parameters of the operation specified in the avro protocol. The response will be added in the body of the "out" message.
In a similar manner when using camel avro consumers for avro ipc, the requests parameters will be placed inside the "in" message body of the created exchange and once the exchange is processed the body of the "out" message will be send as a response.
Note: By default consumer parameters are wrapped into array. If you've got only one parameter, since 2.12 you can use singleParameter
URI option to receive it direcly in the "in" message body without array wrapping.

In
...
the
...
example
...
above
...
you
...
need
...
to
...
fill
...
CamelAvroMessageName
...
header.
...
Since
...
2.12
...
you
...
can
...
use
...
following

syntax
...
to

call
...
constant
...
messages:

---|---|---|---|---|

{code:xml} <route> <from uri="direct:start"/> <to uri="avro:http:localhost:{{avroport}}/put?protocolClassName=org.apache.camel.avro.generated.KeyValueProtocol"/> <to uri="log:avro"/> </route> {code} |

Since 2.12
...
you
...
can
...
set
...
up
...
two
...
distinct
...
routes
...
to
...
perform
...
the
...
same
...
task:
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|

{code:xml} <route> <from uri="avro:netty:localhost:{{avroport}}/put?protocolClassName=org.apache.camel.avro.generated.KeyValueProtocol"> <process ref="putProcessor"/> </route> <route> <from uri="avro:netty:localhost:{{avroport}}/get?protocolClassName=org.apache.camel.avro.generated.KeyValueProtocol&singleParameter=true"/> <process ref="getProcessor"/> </route> {code} |
In
...
the
...
example
...
above,
...
get
...
takes
...
only
...
one
...
parameter,
...
so
...
singleParameter
...
is
...
used
...
and
...
getProcessor
...
will
...
receive
...
Value
...
class
...
directly
...
in
...
body,
...
while
...
putProcessor
...
will
...
receive
...
an
...
array
...
of
...
size
...
2
...
with
...
String

key

and
