Hey all,

I've seen an example of taking a plain text file as an input to an
AvroJob (using AvroUtf8InputFormat) but I haven't found anything about
taking an Avro data file as input and producing a text-based file
(CSV, say).  Any hints here?

Thanks,
Bo

We use Pig and AvroStorage [1] to do this.  It's a very small pig script,
something like:

register piggybank.jar
define AvroStorage o.a.p.pb.AvroStorage()
data = LOAD '$INFILE' using AvroStorage;
store data into '$OUTPUT' using PigStorage(',');
