Thiruvalluvan M. G. commented on AVRO-251:
------------------------------------------
It's unfortunate that if you serialize an Avro schema using JSON encoder and
schema for schema, it won't match the standard JSON version of the schema. I
don't think it'll be possible to fix the JSON encoder to match the standard
JSON version. But we can do the other way around. Though it's desirable to have
this property, it'll be cause incompatibility with the existing schemas and I
think the schema will become harder for humans to read.
Since the "order" field of the record is optional, it should be a union of null
and Enum in the schema.
