We are trying to recover, report bad record, and move to the next record of
an Avro file in PIG-3015 and PIG-3059. It seems that sync blocks don't
exist between files, however.

How should we recover from a bad record using Avro's DataFileReader?

For the corruption test, try corrupting the records, not the sync marker.
The features added to DataFileReader for corruption recovery were for the
case when decoding a record fails (corrupted record), not for when a sync
marker is corrupted.  Perhaps we should add that too, but it does not
surprise me that that case has a bug.
