Owen O'Malley commented on AVRO-512:
------------------------------------
I think it is a very bad idea to make Avro depend on MapReduce. At the very
least, please create a separate jar to put this stuff into rather than the main
Avro jar so that MapReduce doesn't depend on a jar that depends on it.
Why not build this as a library on MapReduce? It shouldn't be bundled with
Avro...

> Avro should provide Hadoop Mapper and Reducer implementations that connect to
> a subprocess in another programming language, transmitting raw binary values
> to and from that process. This should be modeled after Hadoop Pipes. It
> would allow one to easily write efficient mapreduce programs in non-Java
> languages that process Avro-format data.
