Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-458:
-----------------------------------
> The only additional feature I would like to see would be the ability to
> somehow "embed" more complex data types inside a row. Perhaps as a JSON
> string?
AVRO-456 might be the place to address that: if you need complex data types
then perhaps each line should be a JSON value? Note that I just added a patch
to AVRO-672 that efficiently reads and writes JSON as Avro data that could be
used for this.
> Would there be interest in a Java version of this tool, for inclusion in the
> avro-tools.jar?
Yes, that'd be great!
> add tools that read/write CSV records from/to avro data files
