AVRO-1725. Docs: clarify restrictions on enum symbols.
> Enum schema exhibits same restriction to enum symbols as to names
> -----------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: AVRO-1725
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1725
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.7.7
> Reporter: Nikita Makeev
> Fix For: 1.8.0
>
> Attachments: AVRO-1725.patch
>
>
> EnumSchema class in org.apache.avro.Schema has the following code:
> for (String symbol : symbols)
> if (ordinals.put(validateName(symbol), i++) != null)
> which validates enum symbols using validateName() which makes impossible to
> use symbols that are not conforming to standard for real names.
> That prohibits using of symbols like "" (empty string) or anything starting
> with number which does not seem to be intended.
> I guess this place requires either some another type of validation or no
> validation at all. Can provide a patch for both cases.
