-----------------------------------
Summary: Allow previously parsed schemas to be referenced with
parsing a schema
Key: AVRO-4091
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-4091
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: csharp
Affects Versions: 1.11.3
Reporter: Robert Yokota
Assignee: Robert Yokota
Currently the C# Avro library does not have a way to parse a new schema that
refers to named schemas that have been previously parsed.
The equivalent in the Java Avro library is to construct an instance of
`Schema.Parser` and to use the same parser instance to parse the referenced
schemas before the referring schema.
The change that is needed is to simply change the following method in
`Schema.cs` from internal to public:
```
internal static Schema Parse(string json, SchemaNames names, string encspace)
```
I'll submit a PR with this change.
Without this change, tools that allow Avro schemas to reference one another,
such as the Confluent Schema Registry, cannot interoperate well with C#
applications.
