No, I haven't written a way to do that yet, and I feel bad about it-- a Clouderan asked me for just such a feature a couple of weeks ago and it slipped my mind. I don't think it's hard to do, just a little tedious and will require refreshing my memory of the Avro APIs. There's also the potential issue that multiple Avro files in the same input directory can have different schemas, so the one we would end up reading might be somewhat arbitrary (e.g., based on the timestamp of the files in the directory, or some such thing)-- is that ok?
