Reading an Avro file is the same for all compression types. The header of
the file contains what compression codec is used and the schema for the data
within it.
A basic read may look like:
DataFileReader<Object> reader = new DataFileReader<Object>(myFile, new
GenericDatumReader<Object>());
try {
for(Object datum : reader) {
// do something with the datum
}
} finally {
reader.close();
}
The documentation is here:
http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.6.3/api/java/org/apache/avro/file/DataFileRead
er.html
or
http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.6.3/api/java/org/apache/avro/file/DataFileStre
am.html
Several examples can be found in the unit tests named TestDataFile*.java:
