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.
