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

Uri Laserson created AVRO-1286:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Python script avro cat should be able to read from stdin
                 Key: AVRO-1286
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1286
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: python
            Reporter: Uri Laserson
            Priority: Minor


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.

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.
