[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-858) Add --fields to 'avro cat' to select fields printed out

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-858?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13065304#comment-13065304 ] 

Philip Zeyliger commented on AVRO-858:
--------------------------------------

The way the Java version does this is by letting you specify a read schema.  Then it projects the data through that schema, and that's how you lose fields.  Thoughts about that approach?

> Sometimes we want to see just a subset of the fields (specially if the record is big). Adding a --fields to select a subset of fields will help.
