How can I convert avsc files to avdl files?

Question

It is common to convert avro avdl files (idl files) to avsc files (schema files). I want to convert in the other direction, from avsc to avdl, because I have some avsc files created manually and want to see them in the simpler and prettier avdl format.

Answer 1

You can try out the java utility I wrote: SchemaUtils.writeIdlProtocol, it basically allows you to save a bunch of ovro schema's into a avdl file.

Answer 2

You can try avsc2avdl tool (author here). It might not work all cases, because it's still in progress, but I use it at work and it does it's job.
