Which language are you using? Afaik, most language implementations of Avro only have an interface for reading one record at a time, but they do buffer the input file internally, so there shouldn't be a performance disadvantage to reading one record at a time.
If you have an example that is particularly slow, you could be a great help to the Avro community by getting out a profiler and finding the bottleneck :) Thanks, Martin On 14 May 2014, at 20:13, yael aharon <[email protected]> wrote: > I am building a java utility that reads large AVRO files and does some > processing.
