Philip Zeyliger commented on AVRO-245:
--------------------------------------

I'm fine with "binary_fragment_to_json".  Feel free to do the regexp on the 
patch.

Only time will tell, but I'm willing to bet (you know, a milkshake, perhaps) 
that folks will store avro data in non-condoned file formats.  Like databases 
(either RDBMS or key-value like BDB) or SequenceFiles, or whatever.  Someone on 
the user list just asked about this recently, too.

If you'd prefer to wait for a data file reader/writer to check this in, we 
could have had one written already :)
