Hi, there
I am trying to convert a protobuf object to Avro. I am using
//myProto object is deserialized using google protobuf API
ProtobufDatumWriter<MyProto> pbWriter = new
ProtobufDatumWriter<MyProto>(MyProto.class);
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(args[0]);
Encoder e = EncoderFactory.get().binaryEncoder(fo, null);
pbWriter.write(myProto, e);
fo.flush();
The avro file was created successfully. If I cat the file, I can see the data
in the file. However, when I tried to use avro-tools to get schema or meta info
about the saved avro file, it says
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Not a data file.
at
org.apache.avro.file.DataFileStream.initialize(DataFileStream.java:105)
at org.apache.avro.file.DataFileReader.<init>(DataFileReader.java:97)
at
org.apache.avro.tool.DataFileGetSchemaTool.run(DataFileGetSchemaTool.java:47)
Look at the Avro source code, the error means it does not have the first 4
bytes matching the MAGIC first 4 bytes. I am trying to see if I have done
anything wrong.
Appreciate any help you can give me.
