Kill anonymous records or fix GenericDatumReader
------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-22
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-22
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: spec
Reporter: Raymie Stata
Anonymous record names are a pain, can we get rid of them?
If not, I think I noticed a bug in GenericDatumReader.resolveExpected:
{noformat}
if (branch.getType() == Type.RECORD) {
String name = branch.getName();
if (name == null || name.equals(actual.getName()))
return branch;
} else
return branch;
{noformat}
This doesn't seem to require that _both_ are null to match: if the name of
{{branch}} is null and the name {{actual}} is not, then we get a match, which I
think is a bug.
But again, let's just get rid of null names.
