Stu Hood commented on AVRO-757:
-------------------------------
> Perhaps we should implement this by adding the following methods to
> DataFileReader:
This is almost exactly what I prototyped last night: I'll post a patch over the
weekend.
> ...Perhaps there should be a boolean 'sync' parameter to that method that
> defaults to true?
I was going to take a much lazier approach that assumed that the next step
after reopening was to call seek or sync, but I think you are right that we
need to be in some known position.
> Allow a DataFile to be reopened without reading the head
