With which Avro library can't you read a file with a union schema? Unions are a standard feature and every implementation should be able to read a file with such a schema. You can view the file contents with the 'tojson' command line tool: java -jar /path/to/avro-tools.jar tojson --pretty myfile.avro (You can also use the 'getschema' command line tool to view the schema of the file.)
