Erik van Oosten commented on AVRO-2022:
---------------------------------------
After working with this change for some time we decided to abandon this idea
and change the schema after all. The problem is that much code generation tools
assume they can create method {{Schema getSchema()}}. Unfortunately this
collides with the value we want it to return.
> IDL does not allow `schema` as identifier
> -----------------------------------------
