Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-245: ----------------------------------- > I'm just doing these one at a time. So do you intend to extend this tool or add a new tool for that? I think we shouldn't encourage the generation of Avro data files that are not in the Avro data file format, so I'd prefer only one tool. Since the data file contains the schema, one's not needed on the command line. If provided, it should be used for projection. If reading json input, one datum per line, and no schema is provided on the command line then the first line of the file could be assumed to be the schema. > Commandline utility for converting to and from Avro's binary format. > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-245 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-245 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: java > Reporter: Philip Zeyliger > Assignee: Philip Zeyliger > Priority: Minor > Attachments: AVRO-245.patch.txt, AVRO-245.patch.txt > > > A utility for avrotool that can convert between Avro binary data and the JSON > textual form. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
