[jira] [Created] (AVRO-858) Add --fields to 'avro cat' to select
fields printed out
Add --fields to 'avro cat' to select fields printed out
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-858
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-858
Project: Avro

Reporter: Miki Tebeka
Fix For: 1.6.0
Sometimes we want to see just a subset of the fields (specially if the record is big). Adding a --fields to select a subset of fields will help.

[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-858) Add --fields to 'avro cat' to select
fields printed out

Philip Zeyliger commented on AVRO-858:
--------------------------------------
The way the Java version does this is by letting you specify a read schema. Then it projects the data through that schema, and that's how you lose fields. Thoughts about that approach?

Miki Tebeka commented on AVRO-858:
----------------------------------
I think it's more complicated to use in the command line. You'll need to create the read schema and pass it as an argument. Specifying --fields is easier (IMO) and requires less knowledge of Avro (which is one of the goals of this utility).
