The purpose of this package is to facilitate use of AVRO with go strong typing.
- Discover SQL tables
- Convert SQL tables to AVRO schemas
- Query records from SQL into AVRO or CSV binary
Apache AVRO is a data serialization system which relies on JSON schemas.
It provides:
- Rich data structures
- A compact, fast, binary data format
- A container file, to store persistent data
- Remote procedure call (RPC)
AVRO binary encoded data comes together with its schema and therefore is fully self-describing.
When AVRO data is read, the schema used when writing it is always present. This permits each datum to be written with no per-value overheads, making serialization both fast and small.
When AVRO data is stored in a file, its schema is stored with it, so that files may be processed later by any program. If the program reading the data expects a different schema this can be easily resolved, since both schemas are present.

Because of encoding rules for Avro unions, when an union's value is
null, a simple Go nil is returned. However when an union's value
is non-nil, a Go map[string]interface{} with a single key is
returned for the union. The map's single key is the Avro type name and
its value is the datum's value.
