Bill Graham commented on AVRO-875:
----------------------------------
The use case I have in mind is of an internal repository that would me more
available than fetching Schema over the public internet. We might have multiple
producers of a given data type (Pig MR jobs, Java standalone writers, etc.).
Being able to pull files from a URL would be convenient even if only utilized
in development.
Yes, we could just use url.openStream() though, which slipped my mind. For that
reason I think we can just close this JIRA out if you agree.
