Java tool for altering the codec of an Avro data file stream.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-684
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-684
Project: Avro
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: java
Reporter: Patrick Linehan
An example is worth a thousand words:
cat infile.avro | avro-tools recodec deflate - - > outfile.avro
The above example would create a new file, "outfile.avro", with the same
contents as "infile.avro". However, the codec of "outfile.avro" would be
"deflate", regardless of the codec of "infile.avro".
Proposed features:
* The tool should preserve any metadata present in the input file.
* Supported codecs will be "deflate" and "null".
* Optionally add support for specifying the deflation level, perhaps with
syntax as follows: "deflate:N" where N is the deflation level, e.g.
"deflate:4".
Does this proposal sound reasonable?
