Mismatch between the spec and implementation of metadata blocks in files
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-134
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-134
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Thiruvalluvan M. G.
The spec says there are three keys in metadata blocks - schema, count and
_codec_. But the code in DataFileWriter adds schema, count and _sync_. The sync
field is used by the DataFileReader. We need to do the following:
- Add the key sync in the specification.
- Either drop the key codec in the specification or add code to support
codec in DataFileReader/DataFileWriter. If we decide to have codec, we need to
also publish in the spec the list of supported codecs with their names to use
in the metadata block.
