Feature request

Hi all, I would like to introduce an output parser for Avro files into Langchain. My worry is that Avro files themselves would be too similar to JSON, which Langchain already supports an output parser for. General thoughts around this would be appreciated.

Motivation

Avro files are commonly used to enforce a strict schema amongst usage in big data tools. They also come with benefits such as compact data storage and data flexibility. This feature could potentially help connect Langchain in usages with big data tools such as but not limited to Apache Spark and Kafka.

Additional resources on Avro files:

• https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.3.0/

Proposal (If applicable)

Currently do not have a solution but would like to work on one if there is interest in doing so.
