PR checklist

• Read the contribution guidelines.

• Ran the shell script under ./bin/ to update Petstore sample so that CIs can verify the change. (For instance, only need to run ./bin/{LANG}-petstore.sh, ./bin/openapi3/{LANG}-petstore.sh if updating the {LANG} (e.g. php, ruby, python, etc) code generator or {LANG} client's mustache templates). Windows batch files can be found in .\bin\windows\. If contributing template-only or documentation-only changes which will change sample output, be sure to build the project first.

• Filed the PR against the correct branch: master, 4.1.x, 5.0.x. Default: master.

• Copied the technical committee to review the pull request if your PR is targeting a particular programming language.

What is the use to convert OAS to Avro ? Avro only deals with the ser/deser part and not with the API/HTTP part.

[jimschubert]

@cbornet it's common for larger microservice infrastructure to define common types between services which may be consumed by teams that don't own the data. Those structures may be evented through a bus like Kafka, where it would be beneficial to have a clearly defined binary transport. It may also be helpful to generate a public API structure as we do now, but then generate the avro structures for persisting the same API data for external processing via Spark. In all of these cases, Avro would be hugely beneficial.
