------------------------------------

             Summary: Throwing more specific exception if an avro file has 
currupted magic
                 Key: AVRO-2127
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2127
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: java
    Affects Versions: 1.8.2
            Reporter: Dmitrii Bundin
            Priority: Minor


Curently we have IOException thrown if an avro file has incorrect magic. For 
example in case of empty avro file we have in DataFileStream#initialize

{code:java}
catch (IOException e) {
      throw new IOException("Not an Avro data file.");
    }
{code}

Therefore we lose EOFException being caught here. It also seems reasonable to 
throw a subclass of IOException to be able to handle incorrect magic (in case 
length are match) in user code.
