Douglas Creager commented on AVRO-396:
--------------------------------------
I have an implementation of two new command-line tools, avrocat and avropipe,
available on a github tracking branch:
https://github.com/dcreager/avro/tree/avropipe
The avrocat tool prints the contents of an Avro data file to stdout, one record
per line, using the JSON encoding. I haven't used DataFileReadTool, but I'm
guessing they're equivalent. (avrocat is definitely equivalent to the Python
binding's "avro tool dump" command.)
The avropipe command prints out a slightly different format, where each scalar
value appears on a single line. The values are prefixed with a "path" that
indicates where the scalar is in the arbitrarily deep input record format. The
output is equivalent to treating the data file as an array of JSON values, and
sending that array through the [jsonpipe|https://github.com/dvxhouse/jsonpipe]
command.
The commands depend on the new value interface from AVRO-837, which I wasn't
planning on back-porting to the 1.5 library. Once AVRO-837 has been tested and
committed to SVN, I'll commit this as well.
