Chad Parry updated AVRO-4150:
-----------------------------
Summary: The Java API should create unambiguous references into the null
namespace (was: The Java API )
> The Java API should create unambiguous references into the null namespace
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-4150
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-4150
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Chad Parry
> Priority: Minor
>
> The Java API's org.apache.avro.Schema.toString implementation does not
> correctly serialize references into the null namespace. It always serializes
> such references as a name without a dot. That creates ambiguity, since it
> could be interpreted as a simple name that refers to a type in the same
> namespace as the enclosing type. One way to resolve the ambiguity would be to
> add a leading dot to the type name—assuming the specification is amended to
> allow that construction in AVRO-4149. The org.apache.avro.Schema.Parser
> implementation already accepts full names with a leading dot, so this would
> just make serialization consistent.
