Scott Carey commented on AVRO-251:
----------------------------------

Yeah, in the file format case that is simpler.

In the general case of serializing a schema compactly, compression may be an 
option.  Schema could have a constructor or factory that takes a byte[] and a 
corresponding serializer method that returns a the schema as a set of 
compressed bytes.
