Hong Tang commented on AVRO-12:
-------------------------------
Looks good. There may be some room of improvement by eliminating the thread
local variables (e.g. by having an internal interface
Schema.equalsInternal(Schema other, Set<SeenPair> seen) and implement it for
all composite schemas (Map, Record, Array)). But I doubt that full schema
comparison will be a frequent operation, so the added code complexity is hardly
worth it.
Also, just for fun, theoretically, the worst case time complexity could be
O(n^4), and space complexity O(n^2) - but in normal situations, they should run
in O(n) time and space complexity.
