Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-149:
-----------------------------------
This is a great addition!
> I chose to have two scripts to make it way obvious what's going on.
I think this will prove confusing. Can you please fold these together? We can
add build/classes and build/lib when they exist. This is what Hadoop's done
for years.
> I added a dependency on google collections for avrotool.
If this is easy to avoid then I'd prefer it. I don't know how we're getting
that, but it's not currently an explicit dependency and we should add those
more cautiously.
> Do you think sitting on the name "avrotool" is bad? I could do "avrojtool"?
I'd vote for either just 'avro' or perhaps 'avroj'. This will be the primary
(java-based) command-line interface to Avro, so we needn't further qualify it.
> I feel bad that the tests aren't automated: suggestions? Shell script invoked
> by ant?
Guilt is good! A shell script invoked by ant that checks return status and
output would be fabulous.
> "avrotool" runner to execute avro commands from command-line

> There's already an ant task to generate java code based on a schema, but you
> can't do it from the command-line, with any ease. I will shortly upload a
> patch that does just that.
