[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-1286) Python script avro cat should be able to read from stdin

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1286?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13620615#comment-13620615 ] 

Jeremy Kahn commented on AVRO-1286:
-----------------------------------

Biggest headache here is that the python avro data file library requires that the file be seekable. Standard in is not seekable.

I think this is a bug or a misfeature in the python library and probably deserves a ticket of its own.

> Currently, you have to specify a target file on the command line.  But it would be nice to be able to stream data through avro cat.
