Is there a reason why don't we have an AvroIO reader that reads and outputs a GenericRecord without requiring any schema to be given?
Does passing the schema into readGenericRecord() have any benefits other than verifying that the avro file has records of the same schema? This could be useful for parsing a collection of avro files of varying schemas, then post-processing the GenericRecords in further transform with side inputs. -- <https://cloud.google.com/> * • **Niel Markwick* * • *Cloud Solutions Architect * • *Google Belgium * • *ni...@google.com * • *+32 2 894 6771 <+3228946771> Google Belgium NV/SA, Steenweg op Etterbeek 180, 1040 Brussel, Belgie.
