Carl Steinbach commented on AVRO-1279:
--------------------------------------
I observed the following behavior while using Avro-C version 1.7.4:
{code}
% avropipe PrimitiveTypesNoCodec.avro
Segmentation fault: 11
% avropipe PrimitiveTypes.avro
/ []
...
% avro getmeta PrimitiveTypesNoCodec.avro
avro.schema ...
% avro getmeta PrimitiveTypes.avro
avro.codec null
avro.schema ...
{code}
The only difference between the two avro files is that
PrimitiveTypesNoCodec.avro
does not include an avro.codec key in it's file header. According to the spec
this
should be fine since avro.codec is not listed as a required header field.
The offending code is located in file_read_header:
{code}
rval = avro_value_get_by_name(&meta, "avro.codec", &codec_val, NULL);
if (rval) {
avro_set_error("File header doesn't contain a codec");
avro_value_decref(&meta);
return rval;
}
{code}
> Avro-C: file_read_header() segfaults when avro.codec is not defined
