Could not crate .avro file

[srini-daruna]

Hi,

I created avro schema from class and got the byte array and want to write the data to avro file.
How can i do that.?

The internet is full of utilities to copy a byte array to a file (e.g. look at Apache commons-io FileUtils, and Spring also has one).

If i have written the byte array to file and used spark-avro or avro-tools, it is not recognizing the file as avro. I have used same schema and byte array from jackson. Probably, i might have not pointed my question in right direction..

Probably. Maybe you could share some code, and explain what you were trying to do in more detail?

@srini-daruna For better or worse, Avro dictates different format for files than network transport -- Avro files are supposed to have both prefix and pre-written schema as JSON. Currently this module only does "raw" encoded content, and does not have means to add wrapper stuff.
Addition of header and avro schema would be a good addition I think.

Note, however, than when transferring Avro content over the wire, these are not supposed to be used. I don't know if spark (et al) would even allow use; perhaps they try to auto-detect which mode is used.
