Usually schema is stored apart from data. To read old format you must volunteer the old schema. But you can set it up otherwise to embed schema IIRC. Also, I'm no expert, but adding fields is probably fine. Have you tried reading the old format w/ new schema? For more, poke around here, https://github.com/kijiproject, a mature project that used avro serializing data with built-in schema-migration, etc. St.Ack > Thanks > Manjeet > > -- > luv all >
