In addition to Joe's comments: On the write side, DataFileWriter.create() can take a file or an output stream. http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.5.4/api/java/org/apache/avro/file/DataFileWrit er.html
On the read side, DataFileStream can be used if the input does not have random access and can be represented with an InputStream. If the input has random access, implement SeekableInput and then construct a DataFileReader with it: http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.5.4/api/java/org/apache/avro/file/SeekableInpu t.html http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.5.4/api/java/org/apache/avro/file/DataFileRead er.html On 9/24/11 2:14 AM, "Bernard Liang" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > This is somewhat of a more advanced question regarding the Java implementation > of Avro.
