Expose the DataFile's metadata entirely
---------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-682
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-682
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.4.1
Environment: Linux, Java 1.6
Reporter: Harsh J Chouraria
Assignee: Harsh J Chouraria
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.5.0
Right now, the DataFileReader (DataFileStream actually) only allows one to
query the meta data of a file by issuing a key. A user who does not know what
metadata may be stored in the file, has no way to find out by getting a
list/map of all there is. Perhaps we should provide a way for the user to
retrieve global metadata info to query it back for values.
Attached a patch (initial) that simply exposes the HashMap that contains the
metadata after initialization of the data file reader.
