This sample shows how to use the TIBCO StreamBase® Avro to Tuple and Tuple to Avro operators.
See the description of the operators' Properties views in Using the Avro to Tuple Operator and Using the Tuple to Avro Operator.
The sample application illustrate the use of the Avro to Tuple and Tuple to Avro operators. In this sample, the operator takes an input tuple and produces an Apache Avro Record blob, it then takes that blob and produces a tuple. The sample is setup with a schema to try out various data types converting from tuples to Avro and back.
