Greetings, I am desiring to read and write Avro files (such as those manipulated by MapReduce applications) from a C++ program. While there are higher-level wrappers (such as Hive), I am interested in reading/writing the files directly. There are both C++ and Java library implementations; however, in the C++ API README I see "And the file and rpc containers are not yet implemented." Does this mean that I can't read and write Avro files using the C++ library?
We have very good C++/JNI wrapper-generator, so using the Java is not terribly difficult. Given that, which interface would you recommend? Does the C++ interface (assuming it works) have significant performance advantages? Thanks john
