Description

Avro does not support 'bytes' keys in the 'map' type, which means that we can't directly map the approach taken in Thrift to Avro.

One alternative is to use an array of (key,value) tuples, but there is a discussion on the avro-user mailing list that will hopefully yield a better approach. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hadoop-avro-user/201004.mbox/%3C1270498675.74765915@192.168.2.228%3E
