Joseph Adler commented on PIG-3015:
-----------------------------------
[~russell.jurney]: ]Reading through the stack trace that you posted, it does
not look like the null pointer exception was occurring in TrevniStorage. (It
looks like it was occurring in the Tokenizer). Does your script work correctly
if you use it with another format, like PigStorage?

> The current AvroStorage implementation has a lot of issues: it requires old
> versions of Avro, it copies data much more than needed, and it's verbose and
> complicated. (One pet peeve of mine is that old versions of Avro don't
> support Snappy compression.)
> I rewrote AvroStorage from scratch to fix these issues. In early tests, the
> new implementation is significantly faster, and the code is a lot simpler.
> Rewriting AvroStorage also enabled me to implement support for Trevni (as
> TrevniStorage).
> I'm opening this ticket to facilitate discussion while I figure out the best
> way to contribute the changes back to Apache.
