Hackolade version: 6.10.20
Avro plugin version: 0.1.128

Actions leading to the issue:

• Create new Hackolade model with target Apache Avro Schema
• Tools > Reverse-Engineer > Avro schema or data file > File System...
• Select .avsc file and click OK (option "Combine schema" or "Separate schema" lead to same issue)
• Processing dialog displays and processing seems to happen (CPU fan spins up)

When processing (presumably) finishes, Hackolade blanks to white canvas, menu bar still showing but all options greyed out.

If more than one instant of Hackolade running at the time, the following error message is displayed in the console after a minute or so:

Hi, I wrote an Avro schema which we've been using. The Avro schema has been validated against Apache 1.8.2 and has been working within XMLSpy. I tried to reverse-engineer the schema in Hackolade using the Avro plug-in but noticed that it drops all field using "union" except for the last one in the schema.
You can try the 3 versions of the same schema in the attached zip file and will see that only the last field with union is kept.

Thanks,

To my understanding the current Avro plugin version doesn't support the definiton annotations at entity or field level.

I wanted to start this thread to discuss the usage of "Configure custom properties" at entity or field level, to feed annotation "Tags" on the generated avro schema.

AVSC Sample:

{
  "type" : "record",
  "name" : "Customer",
  "fields" : [ {
    "name" : "CustomerFullName",
    "type" : {
      "type" : "string",
      "tags" : [ "PII","Sensitive" ]
    }
  }
],
 "tags" : [ "PII","Sensitive" ]
}

IDL sample:

 @tags(["PII", "Sensitive"])
  record Customer {
     @tags(["PII", "Sensitive"])
      string CustomerFullName;
  }
