Philip Zeyliger commented on AVRO-245:
--------------------------------------
bq. Am I too paranoid?
Yes?
As you've said, the essential kernel of Avro is to read/write binary data based
on a json schema. That's exposed enough in the Java APIs, and there's little
reason not to expose it on the command line.
I understand that you're concerned about people leaving schemaless files
around. We can add a warning in the description, perhaps. Because the tool
works on individual records only, I don't think folks will shoot themselves in
the foot too much.
