Avro

Avro is a row-based data serialization system developed within Apache's Hadoop project. It provides rich data structures and a compact, fast binary data format.

Technical Details

Avro uses JSON for defining data schemas, which are stored with the data. This enables schema evolution while maintaining compatibility. The data itself is stored in a compact binary format.

Advantages

  • Compact binary serialization
  • Schema definition included with the data
  • Support for schema evolution
  • Dynamic typing and code generation

Limitations

  • Not human-readable without special tools
  • Less widely supported than formats like JSON or CSV
  • More complex to implement than simpler formats
  • Less efficient for columnar queries than Parquet

MySQL

MySQL format typically refers to SQL dump files that contain database structure and data exported from MySQL database servers.

Technical Details

MySQL dump files contain SQL statements that recreate the database objects and insert data. They can include schema definitions, stored procedures, triggers, and table data.

Advantages

  • Complete representation of database structure and data
  • Human-readable and editable
  • Can be selectively imported into MySQL instances
  • Version control friendly

Limitations

  • Specific to MySQL and may require adjustments for other databases
  • Large dumps can be slow to import
  • Not optimized for data analysis
  • May contain sensitive information
