Detailed Description

Low level support for encoding avro values. This class has two types of functions. One type of functions support the writing of leaf values (for example, encodeLong and encodeString). These functions have analogs in Decoder.

The other type of functions support the writing of maps and arrays. These functions are arrayStart, startItem, and arrayEnd (and similar functions for maps). Some implementations of Encoder handle the buffering required to break large maps and arrays into blocks, which is necessary for applications that want to do streaming.
