                 Key: AVRO-308
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-308
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: spec
            Reporter: Jeff Hammerbacher
             Fix For: 1.3.0


In the current version of the spec, we say that a protocol declaration has a 
field called "types, a list of record, enum and error definitions.". It would 
be useful to allow arbitrary named types, so that we can have, for example, 
fixed types like MD5 declared in the protocol and used in the message 
definitions of that protocol.
