Hey, i have a question regarding namespaces,
i have the following schema: { "namespace":"foo", "fields": [ { "type": [ "string", "null" ], "name":"sampleRef" }, { "namespace":"foo.run", "fields": [ { "type": [ "string", "null" ], "name":"baz" } ], "type":"record", "name":"foo" } ], "type":"record", "name":"run" } the problem is if i try to parse the schema it gives me the following error and i have no idea why: /usr/bin/python3.4 /home/marius/PycharmProjects/AvroTest/avroTest.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/marius/PycharmProjects/AvroTest/avroTest.py", line 11, in <module> schema = avro.schema.Parse(open("simple.avsc").read()) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/avro_python3_snapshot-1.7.7-py3.4.egg/avro/schema.py", line 1283, in Parse return SchemaFromJSONData(json_data, names) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/avro_python3_snapshot-1.7.7-py3.4.egg/avro/schema.py", line 1254, in SchemaFromJSONData return parser(json_data, names=names) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/avro_python3_snapshot-1.7.7-py3.4.egg/avro/schema.py", line 1182, in _SchemaFromJSONObject other_props=other_props, File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/avro_python3_snapshot-1.7.7-py3.4.egg/avro/schema.py", line 1061, in __init__ fields = make_fields(names=nested_names) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/avro_python3_snapshot-1.7.7-py3.4.egg/avro/schema.py", line 1173, in MakeFields return tuple(RecordSchema._MakeFieldList(field_desc_list, names)) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/avro_python3_snapshot-1.7.7-py3.4.egg/avro/schema.py", line 986, in _MakeFieldList yield RecordSchema._MakeField(index, field_desc, names) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/avro_python3_snapshot-1.7.7-py3.4.egg/avro/schema.py", line 957, in _MakeField names=names, File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/avro_python3_snapshot-1.7.7-py3.4.egg/avro/schema.py", line 1254, in SchemaFromJSONData return parser(json_data, names=names) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/avro_python3_snapshot-1.7.7-py3.4.egg/avro/schema.py", line 1135, in _SchemaFromJSONString % (json_string, sorted(names.names))) avro.schema.SchemaParseException: Unknown named schema 'record', known names: ['foo.run'].
