[jira] Commented: (AVRO-458) add tools that read/write CSV records from/to avro data files

["Patrick Linehan (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-458?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12918237#action_12918237 ] 

Patrick Linehan commented on AVRO-458:
--------------------------------------

Good stuff.  The feature list matches what I've been thinking about implementing myself.  The only additional feature I would like to see would be the ability to somehow "embed" more complex data types inside a row.  Perhaps as a JSON string?  This requires some thought, though.

I'm not familiar with the Python tools in Avro, as I tend to work with Java.  Would there be interest in a Java version of this tool, for inclusion in the avro-tools.jar?
