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. > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > 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.
