Jim Pivarski commented on AVRO-1442:
------------------------------------
Motivation for "trivial" --> "major": I misunderstood the meaning of the
priority field when I first filled out this ticket. This bug is trivial to
fix, but some reader-writer combinations result in "cannot parse schema" errors
when they should result in "incompatible schemae" instead.
> Case "FIXED" not handled in ResolvingGrammarGenerator
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-1442
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1442
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.7.5
> Reporter: Jim Pivarski
> Labels: exceptions
>
> Symptom: Attempts to match reader = FIXED against writer != FIXED results in
> a RuntimeException ("Unexpected schema type: FIXED"), rather than an
> appropriate Symbol.ErrorAction.
> Reason: In the ResolvingGrammarGenerator.generate method, there are two
> switch statements, one for writerType == readerType and the other for
> writerType != readerType. In the latter, "case FIXED:" is missing.
> This is true in the GitHub version (HEAD?) as well:
> https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/branch-1.3/lang/java/src/java/org/apache/avro/io/parsing/ResolvingGrammarGenerator.java#L155
