> 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
> Priority: Minor
>
> 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").
