Difference between encoding/decoding of avro_ex and avrora/erlavro about avro_ex HOT 1 CLOSED

Reading up on this it seems there are two ways to encode blocks for arrays. They can either start with a positive long encoded integer stating the number of array items in the block, or it can start with a negative long encoded integer stating the negated number of array items in the block followed by another long encoded integer stating the bytesize of the whole block. erlavro defaults to the latter option: https://github.com/klarna/erlavro/blob/master/src/avro_binary_encoder.erl#L150-L151
