Kevin Oliver commented on AVRO-261:
-----------------------------------

Gotcha, thanks Doug. Didn't grok your earlier comments on recursive schema 
references. Not sure if its worth the effort then, sounds like a bit of a 
hassle.


> Allow Schemas to be immutable

> It would be nice if there was the ability to have an immutable Schema in 
> java. 
> Without this, it makes sharing schemas risky. Also, with this, we could 
> (lazily) cache the hashCode which is a fairly expensive operation today, 
> especially on something like a record.
