Chris Hoffman created AVRO-2789:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Actually include non-spec metadata in the parsed Schema 
objects
                 Key: AVRO-2789
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2789
             Project: Apache Avro
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: ruby
            Reporter: Chris Hoffman


Currently, the Avro specification is fine with fields having keys that aren't 
reserved by the specification. We use this freedom to give systems that consume 
Avro schemas hints about how they should construct ETL pipelines. The fact that 
gems built on top of the Avro gem can't access this non-specification metadata 
makes these tasks much harder.

I will be submitting a pull request to implement this, but I'm creating the 
ticket first so I can reference the ticket number in the branch name.
