Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-245:
-----------------------------------
Since there's no code in the containing class, I see no point to having it.
Rather we should just have JsonToBinaryTool and BinaryToJsonTool.
Also, these should be more symmetric, both either taking their input from a
file, from the command line or from standard input. My preference would
probably be either a named file or standard in/out if that's not provided.
You're not using the container file format, but rather just a file containing a
single record. A tool that takes json lines from standard input and emits an
avro data file and vice versa would be useful, no?
Finally, it doesn't look like you close the file you open for write.
> Commandline utility for converting to and from Avro's binary format.
