Description

When a file is corrupted it raises the error java.io.IOException: Invalid sync! with hive.
Can we have some functionality to skip or repair such blocks at runtime to make avro more error resilient in case of data corruption.
Error: java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException: While processing file s3n://<bucket>/navdeepp/warehouse/avro_test/354dc34474404f4bbc0d8013fc8e6e4b_000042. java.io.IOException: Invalid sync!
