Tom commented on AVRO-2900:
---------------------------
I was mistaken, this is already possible:
{code:java}
avro-tools tojson --head=<n> <filename> {code}
> Allow limiting the number of results parsed by Avro tools's tojson

> Key: AVRO-2900
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2900
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tools
> Reporter: Tom
> Priority: Minor
>
> Avro tools currently does not allow the user to specify a maximum number of
> entries to parse. A workaround is to use {{head}} and ctrl-c, but that is not
> too nice.
> Judging by the
> [source|https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/master/lang/java/tools/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/tool/BinaryFragmentToJsonTool.java]
> it seems not too hard to add this functionality.
> I can give it a go, but according to the contribution guidelines, I'll should
> here first.
