-----------------------------------
Summary: Add support for reading specific/reflect data from an
Avro MR file
Key: CRUNCH-433
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CRUNCH-433
Project: Crunch
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Gabriel Reid
Assignee: Gabriel Reid
An Avro Key/Value file written via raw MapReduce contains records that follow
the schema generated by the org.apache.avro.hadoop.io.AvroKeyValue class.
If these files contain specific or reflection-based records, there is currently
no easy way to read them in as specific or reflection records. Using the basic
public Crunch APIs, they can only be read as generic records (that also contain
generic records).
A method should be added to the Avros class which allows specifying specific
PTypes to be used for reading the underlying data types within a raw MR output
file.
