        The [Apache Avro](https://avro.apache.org/) format is a popular method for information
        exchange, particularly for message and reord distribution in high-throughput systems.
        
        In [Intake](https://github.com/ContinuumIO/intake/), there are two plugins provided for reading avro data:
        
        - `avro_table` is appropriate for data which have a schema simple enough to be
          represented as columns with simple types, i.e., *flat* schema. The output of
          this plugin are dataframes, and the reading is optimized for speed.
        - `avro_sequence` is more generic and can handle all possible avro schema, but
          it produces generic python sequences of dictionaries, and is consequently
          much slower than the table reader.
