-----------------------------------------

I am going to attempt to work on this issue.  If anyone has some guidance on the approach for this, I could use it.  Otherwise I'll figure something out.

> The current C implementation does not allow for datum values greater than 16K.
> The {{avro_file_writer_append}} flushes blocks to disk over time, but does not deal with the single case of a single datum being larger than {{avro_file_writer_t.datum_buffer}}.  This is noted in the source code:
> {code:title=datafile.c:294-313}
> int avro_file_writer_append(avro_file_writer_t w, avro_datum_t datum)
> {
>     int rval;                  
>     if (!w || !datum) {        
>         return EINVAL;         
>     }
>     rval = avro_write_data(w->datum_writer, w->writers_schema, datum);
>     if (rval) {                
>         check(rval, file_write_block(w));
>         rval =
>             avro_write_data(w->datum_writer, w->writers_schema, datum);
>         if (rval) {            
>             /* TODO: if the datum encoder larger than our buffer,
>                just write a single large datum */
>             return rval;       
>         }
>     }
>     w->block_count++;          
>     return 0;                  
> }
> {code}
