Excalibur.Dispatch.Serialization.Avro

Apache Avro serialization plugin for the Excalibur framework.

Features

Schema-based binary serialization via Apache Avro
Optimized for streaming and Kafka scenarios
Cross-language compatibility (Java, Python, Go, etc.) when reader and writer share the same schema
Pluggable serialization registry integration

Usage

One call does everything -- DI registration, serializer registry entry, and setting Avro as the current serializer:

services.AddAvroSerializer();

With custom options:

services.AddAvroSerializer(opts =>
{
    opts.BufferSize = 8192; // default: 4096
});

Requirements

Types must implement ISpecificRecord from the Apache.Avro package.

Schema Compatibility

This serializer decodes each payload using the reader type's own schema as both the reader and writer schema, so data must have been written with the same schema the reader expects. Avro writer-schema resolution — schema evolution, i.e. reading data written with an older but compatible writer schema — is not currently supported.

Skew is detected and fails closed — never silently mis-decoded. Every payload is framed with the Avro single-object-encoding header: the marker 0xC3 0x01 followed by the 8-byte little-endian CRC-64-AVRO (Rabin) fingerprint of the writer schema. On read, the serializer compares the payload's writer-schema fingerprint against the reader schema's fingerprint; if they differ (a writer/reader schema skew) and no compatible writer schema can be resolved, it throws SchemaMismatchException instead of positionally decoding against the wrong schema (which could silently corrupt field values). A payload missing the header also fails closed.

To evolve message contracts over time, version your types explicitly (for example through the serialization registry) so every payload is read with the schema it was written with.
