> AFAIU you need to read the Avro data once to collect the offsets to be able to seek later, right ? So, this helps for the following reads ? Right. First time I needed that was when we had a separate index with records, so we were just opening the Avro file at a needed position. Very large files (audit and traces) and small index for positions. That was in Java, where seeking is supported. Now I need to show an Avro file on screen, using Rust. User can scroll the file back and forth. One option is keeping the whole file in memory, which is not optimal considering the usual sizes, or just keep the list of positions in file. The file opens from the start, so I always have all the previous positions. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
