Hi @bharathss

 

Thanks for reaching out to the community. Your query is a tricky one, and I have limited knowledge about it, so I had to do some digging. The “Unknown codec … Snappy” error means Alteryx doesn’t have the Snappy codec available to decompress your Avro file. You will need to install Snappy support and verify the codec is enabled. By installing or enabling the Snappy codec (or re-exporting with a different codec), Alteryx will be able to open your Avro without that error.

 

Hope this helps. Happy to be corrected by the community if I've missed anything.

 

Take care.
