### What would you like to happen? Currently AvroSource has its own hand-rolled avro parser, given the class is over 6 years old I assume this is due to it being written before Avro had DataFileReader, etc, with good support for partially reading an avro container file. One of the downsides of this is that it doesn't share the same CodecFactory infrastructure as avro proper does, so users can't plug in custom CodecFactory instances using `CodecFactory.addCodec`. It should be possible to refactor AvroSource to use DataFileReader rather than its own handmade parser, and in doing so would automatically get the benefit of using the normal CodecFactory infrastructure. ### Issue Priority Priority: 3 ### Issue Component Component: io-java-avro -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
