https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/Best-Practice-JSON-to-Avro-data-type-preserving/m-p/148380#M110906 <P>Thanks <A rel="user" href="https://community.cloudera.com/users/9304/tspann.html" nodeid="9304">@Timothy Spann</A> The Avro version is 1.7.7 (looking at the pom.xml). Is there a timestamp type in avro 1.7.7? I guess not. I could see the logicalType timestamp-* in 1.8 Should I assume that the timestamp would not work. </P> Sat, 28 Jan 2017 02:45:52 GMT arunak 2017-01-28T02:45:52Z
