Bryan Bende commented on AVRO-1726:
-----------------------------------
That would be a cool feature to support, were you thinking of something more
sophisticated than starting to read blocks and only appending after numBlocks
>= offset ?
I'm not sure if there is another option because it would require DataFileStream
being able to position itself at a specific block boundary, which I don't see
from glancing at public methods, but I am new here so not sure.
> Add support for appending a variable number of blocks to DataFileWriter
