Brock Noland commented on AVRO-1530:
------------------------------------

I was thinking that we'd throw a subclass of IOException so that'd be backwards compatible. Though, I do agree that clients could ignore zero length files.

> When writing data to HDFS, especially with Flume, it's possible to write empty files. When you run Hive queries over this data, the job fails with "Not a data file." from here https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/trunk/lang/java/avro/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/file/DataFileStream.java#L102
