--------------------------------
Summary: The specification should allow explicit references into
the null namespace
Key: AVRO-4149
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-4149
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Chad Parry
If the enclosing type has a namespace, and if that namespace contains a type
"Target", and if the null namespace also has a type "Target", then it is
impossible to reference the one in the null namespace. The type name "Target"
would be interpreted as a simple name that refers to the namespaced "Target"
type. The specification should be amended so that ".Target" is a legal
reference into the null namespace. Other sections of the specification that
forbid that should be amended, (e.g., ""The null namespace may not be used in a
dot-separated sequence of names").
