Sehrope Sarkuni updated AVRO-1685:
----------------------------------
Attachment: AVRO-1685.patch
> Allow specifying sync in DataFileWriter.create
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-1685
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1685
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java
> Reporter: Sehrope Sarkuni
> Priority: Minor

>
> Currently DataFileWriter generates a random 16-byte sync each time a new file
> is created. This means that even if you write the exact same data in a new
> file writer, the file itself will be slightly different (specifically the
> sync will be different).
> I'd like to be able to generate the exact same file multiple times. To do so,
> I need a way to specify the 16-byte sync.
> I've created a patch that adds this functionality by adding an overload of
> the create() that takes a byte[] array as the third parameter. If the byte
> array is null then a random sync is generated using the same internal static
> generateSync() method as before. If it's not null then the length is checked
> and it's used as the sync. The other two overloads of create(...) have been
> modified to call the three parameter version with a null sync.
> The patch includes three additional tests to check the error cases (invalid
> length) and verify that generating the same file twice results in the same
> byte array (i.e. exact match).
