I found Deepesh's question back in December. I have joined the mailing
list later. So don't have the message in my inbox and I do not know the
proper way to reply. Anyway I have include the original message below.
I have the similar issue. In addition I'm interested to find out about
Python and Node js library support.
From what I understand, the avro specification requires avro.schema. So
I am quite unsure of the status of have the schema in an external
repository.
- avro.schema contains the schema of objects stored in the file, as
JSON data (required).

Subject Schema exclusion from Avro message
Date Sun, 15 Dec 2013 12:58:18 GMT
Hi,
I have read at multiple places that we can exclude the schema being packed
into the Avro message & can only include version to allow schema lookup. I
have also looked into
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1124however, didn't found
how to make use of such repository while reading or
writing Avro messages.
I just need some heads up related to that to get started. My use-case
is of
sending Avro message from a C-based avro client to Flume/Kafka & finally
storing it to Hadoop.
