Doug Cutting updated AVRO-245:
------------------------------
Attachment: AVRO-245.patch
I hacked on this patch some last week. Changes I made:
- the build.xml change you made didn't work: i think ant uses glob-like
patterns, not regex. instead i just named the file AvroTestUtil.java.
- i used more generic types for local variables when possible, e.g., Encoder
rather than JsonEncoder, etc.
- the NullDatumReader in GetSchemaTool wasn't needed. GenericDatumReader could
be used.
- tried hard to not create new json decoder or encoders per line in DataFile
read/write tools since these are not lightweight. in the reader we need a
reliable precise way of detecting EOF from an decoder. perhaps it should be
fixed to throw EOFException, or perhaps the tool should keep track of its
position in the input and stop when it reaches the end. in the writer there
seems to be a bug in Jackson that emits an extra space. we should pursue this
and figure out what's going on, since we need these tools to perform reasonably
well. the patch attached passes tests and creates fewer objects, but this area
still needs more work i fear.
