Bridger Howell commented on AVRO-2077:
--------------------------------------
Finishing my last comment (whoops):
Of course there's a downside of trying to generalize too many special cases
together.
So if we just want to avoid edge cases, I'm fine with your suggestion. There's
some benefit to having many specialized tools instead of a few swiss knives.
> Avro tools should have an option to check reader-writer compatibility

> Key: AVRO-2077
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2077
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: java, tools
> Reporter: Nandor Kollar
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.9.0

>
> It seems that avro-tools doesn't have any option to check for a given Avro
> file and a given reader schema (JSON file or URL) that the reader's schema is
> compatible with the writer's schema. This tool should report every
> compatibility problem (if there's any).
> According my knowledge, there's no such option for avro-tools as of now.
