> It would be great if I could use the various tools to read/parse files that are in HDFS, S3, etc via the [FileSystem|http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/fs/FileSystem.html] api. We could retain backwards compatibility by assuming that unqualified urls are "file://" but allow reading of files from fully qualified urls such as hdfs://. The required apis are already part of the avro-tools uber jar to support the TetherTool.
