How do you extract first the schema and then the data from an avro file in Java? Identical to this question except in java.

I've seen examples of how to get the schema from an avsc file but not an avro file. What direction should I be looking in?

Schema schema = new Schema.Parser().parse(
    new File("/home/Hadoop/Avro/schema/emp.avsc")
);

Thanks for @Helder Pereira's answer. As a complement, the schema can also be fetched from getSchema() of GenericRecord instance.
Here is an live demo about it, the link above shows how to get data and schema in java for Parquet, ORC and AVRO data format.
