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

The updated Input Format document for handling Apache Avro  for SAMOA is 
present @
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B844rHJZHzKMdk5oMHZWREdxMnM/view?usp=sharing 

Avro allows two encodings for the data: Binary & JSON. Test data built 
according to the document is below.

The JSON encoded AVRO File for the Forest CoverType dataset is @
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B844rHJZHzKMSlRRaVA0TU0zRjQ/view?usp=sharing 

The BINARY encoded AVRO File for the Forest CoverType dataset is @
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B844rHJZHzKMSFVwVVRPVjhCOTA/view?usp=sharing 

Original for the Forest CoverType dataset ARFF file from which Avro file was 
built is @

> The current SAMOA readers can only support data streams in ARFF format. Hence 
> SAMOA as a distributed streaming machine learning framework is limited in 
> scope since end users may have to transform their data to ARFF . Apache Avro 
> is a data serialization system that handles data streams in compact binary 
> format and is typically used in conjunction with with Big Data eco-system 
> tools. Avro allows two encodings for the data: Binary & JSON. Hence an Avro 
> support may allow users with JSON data also to use SAMOA seamlessly.
> The GOAL is to build support for Avro Streams into SAMOA by adding Avro File 
> Stream Handler, Avro Loader to read records & transform to instances and  a 
> user option to switch between JSON/Binary encodings. The input format with 
> representation of meta-data for both JSON/Binary data to be finalized along 
> with build.
