Philip Zeyliger commented on AVRO-245:
--------------------------------------
I intend to write a separate tool for data files. (And, yes, that record would
only need the schema for projection.)
I'm mainly interested in exposing this as (a) a way for folks to learn and
understand the encoding, in a hands-on fashion, (b) a way to debug a stream of
bytes that are typically part of a greater whole (one value in a sequencefile,
part of a tcpdump, etc), and (c) as a step in sending arbitrary RPCs around.
> Commandline utility for converting to and from Avro's binary format.
