[jira] [Created] (AVRO-1238) Avro-C better end of file detection

Michael Cooper created AVRO-1238:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Avro-C better end of file detection
                 Key: AVRO-1238
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1238
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: c
            Reporter: Michael Cooper
         Attachments: 0001-Sane-EOF-checking.patch

Currently in the C library, avro_file_reader_read_value will error out when it hits the end of a file.

I propose we make it detect when it has hit the end of file, and return -1.
This means that we can differentiate between errors in opening the next block versus actually having finished the file.

I have attached the proposed changes.
