Niels Basjes created AVRO-1924: ---------------------------------- Summary: Variable named 'date' in IDL Key: AVRO-1924 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1924 Project: Avro Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Niels Basjes Assignee: Ryan Blue
I was compiling Apache Parquet and found that the switch from Avro 1.8.0 to 1.8.1 broke their build. The error: {code} [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.avro:avro-maven-plugin:1.8.1:idl-protocol (schemas) ... org.apache.avro.compiler.idl.ParseException: Encountered " "date" "date "" at line 23, column 14. [ERROR] Was expecting one of: [ERROR] <IDENTIFIER> ... [ERROR] "@" ... [ERROR] "`" ... [ERROR] -> [Help 1] {code} As it turns out they have a test idl that contains this: {code} @namespace("org.apache.parquet.avro") protocol Cars { record Service { long date; } } {code} And this change AVRO-1684 turned the word 'date' into something different for the idl compiler. So changing the word 'date' into something else fixes the problem. Yet I think this is an undesirable effect for end user applications. [~rdblue]: I assigned this to you implemented the mentioned change. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
