As per the specification: https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.10.2/spec.html#Object+Container+Files there is a mention of required codecs and optional codecs.
My question is regarding the optional codecs. For anyone implementing an Avro reader from scratch using the specification, could they skip support for optional codecs(bzip2,snappy,xz,zstandard) and still claim that their Avro reader is conforming to the specification?
Thank you.
