The canonical form for Avro schemas is to use a single "name" key whose
value is the concatenation of the namespace, if any, with the record
name:
https://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#Transforming+into+Parsing+Canonical+Form
There is a common, non-canonical alternative out in the wild that uses a
short "name" plus an additional "namespace" key to represent the same
information.
I've found that when I submit a schema in canonical form to the schema
registry and then retrieve the stored schema back from the registry
using the appropriate subject, the version that the registry provides
uses the non-canonical form. (This is via Python, but I think the
transformation is happening on the server.) Is there a configuration
option to make the registry return a canonical form instead? Or is this
a bug?
