Apache Avro

Apache Avro is a row-based data serialization format designed to support efficient data encoding and compression. Avro stores data in a compact binary format, which makes it efficient for both storage and transmission. Every Avro file includes a schema that describes the structure of the data stored within it. Avro supports a range of complex data types, including nested records, arrays, and maps. Avro also supports schema evolution, allowing the schema of a dataset to change over time (adding new fields, for example) while maintaining backward compatibility with the older version of the schema.

Fixed Width/Fixed Length

A fixed width (or fixed length) file is a text data file in which each field in a record is allocated a specific number of characters, regardless of the actual content length. This consistent column width ensures that data aligns in columns across rows, making the file appear like a table when viewed in a plain text editor. If a field's content does not fill the entire width, it's padded with spaces or other placeholder characters. Fixed width files are often used in legacy systems, mainframes, and financial data processing systems.
