The 16-byte, sync marker for file not generated till first record written.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-828
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-828
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.5.1
Environment: Java 1.6
Reporter: Douglas Britsch
When opening an avro file to be written, the 16-byte, sync marker for file not
generated till first record written or the file properly closed. Our usecase
has the logs being rotated if they have no open filehandles which means if we
open a file and experience an unclean shutdown we get files that throw
exceptions on processing. When records are written the sync marker is written
on each write which prevents this from being a problem on non-empty files. Can
we write the sync marker when the header is written instead of on first write?
