Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-6708:
--------------------------------------
> Shortcomings of Avro File Format:
> • Data is expected to have a schema
But that schema can be just "bytes".
> • No lazy reading API (yet?)
True. Would this be hard to add?
Also, is it important to add this to Common, or should it rather belong in
Sqoop?
> New file format for very large records
