Convert ODS to Avro

OpenDocument Spreadsheet (ODS) is an open standard file format for spreadsheets that is part of the OpenDocument Format (ODF) family. It was developed by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) and is widely supported by various office suites, including LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice.

ODS files can contain multiple sheets, and each sheet can contain multiple rows and columns of data. The format supports a wide range of features including formulas, styles, charts, and macros.

One of the key advantages of ODS is its open nature, which ensures long-term accessibility and interoperability. It uses a compressed XML format, making it both efficient in storage and easy to process programmatically.

Apache Avro is a row-oriented remote procedure call and data serialization framework developed within Apache's Hadoop project. It uses JSON for defining data types and protocols, and serializes data in a compact binary format.

Avro is designed to support complex nested data structures and enables efficient querying and manipulation of specific columns without reading the entire dataset.
