Thank you Sam.I am trying to read only one binary file in map reduce and split that into 4 avro files each having different schema.I am trying to do this in one job but I am still not sure how to specify multipleoutput schemas to an Avrojob instance.Do we need to create multiple instances of Avrojob in the map reduce driver to do this?.
