Scott Nottingham commented on AVRO-1286:
----------------------------------------
I was just trying to challenge the OP comment that "Standard in is not
seekable". Using the method I posted, something from the command line can be
piped ( | ) to a python script as standard in and used by the DataFileReader
constructor as if it were a file being read. This could be useful in
map/reduce jobs where Hadoop will try to send mapped data to a reduce python
script as stdin. For a continuous stream ( as it sounds like you are describing
) I don't think this method would work.
> Python script avro cat should be able to read from stdin
