Streams Apache Avro toolkit

This toolkit supports serialization and deserialization of messages in an Apache Avro format. It provides two operators, AvroToJSON and JSONToAvro, which respectively are used to convert an Avro message (with or without embedded schema) to a JSON string and a JSON string into an Avro message (or a block of Avro messages with embedded schema). Avro messages are in a binary format; hence they are represented as a Streams blob type.

The toolkit contains examples on how to use the operators.
