Hello, I am trying to write a sequence of Avro GenericRecords into a Java ByteBuffer and later on deserialize them. I have tried using FileWriter/Readers and copying the content of the underlying buffer to my target object. The alternative is to try to split a ByteBuffer by the serialized GenericRecords individually and use a BinaryDecoder to read each property of a record individually.
Please see attached such an example of the former code. The presented code fails with org.apache.avro.AvroRuntimeException: java.io.IOException: Invalid sync! at org.apache.avro.file.DataFileStream.hasNext(DataFileStream.java:223) at com.feedzai.research.experiments.bookkeeper.Avro.main(Avro.java:97) Caused by: java.io.IOException: Invalid sync! at org.apache.avro.file.DataFileStream.nextRawBlock(DataFileStream.java:318) at org.apache.avro.file.DataFileStream.hasNext(DataFileStream.java:212) ... 1 more Hence my questions are: - Is it at all possible to serialize/deserialize lists of Avro records to a ByteBuffer and back? - If so, can anyone point me in the right direction? - If not, can anyone point me to code examples of alternative solutions? Thank you and have a good day.
