Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-2076:
------------------------------------

Doesn't DataFileWriter#appendEncoded() already provide this?

> In some use cases Avro events arrive already serialized (e.g. when listening to a Kafka topic). It would be great if there would an API that allows writing an Avro file without the need for deserializing and serializing these Avro records.
> Providing such an API allows for very efficient creation of Avro files: given that these Avro records are written with the same schema, an Avro file would write will the exact same bytes anyway (before block compression).
