Read and write Avro data. One possible route is through
https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.5.1/api/java/org/apache/avro/mapred/AvroAsTextInputFormat.html
and the json format already available

The other is documented [here](https://github.com/tomslabs/avro-utils) in the Dumbo section and is through the class AvroAsTextTypedBytesInputFormat and the typedbytes format. This would be binary (potentially faster) but would introduce an additional dependency
