Hi,

I'd like to write a mapreduce job that uses avro throughout, but the map phase 
would need to read files with two different schemas, similar to what the 
MultipleInputFormat does in stock hadoop. Is this a supported use case? 

A work-around would be to create a union schema that has both fields as 
optional and to convert all data into it, but that seems clumsy. 

Has anyone done this before?

Thanks for any suggestion you can give,

Markus
