+/**
+ * <p>
+ * A fluent interface for building {@link Schema} instances. The flow of the 
API
+ * is designed to mimic the <a
+ * href="http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#schemas";>Avro Schema
+ * Specification</a>
+ * </p>
+ * For example, the below JSON schema and the fluent builder code to create it
+ * are very similar:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * {
+ *   "type": "record",
+ *   "name": "HandshakeRequest", "namespace":"org.apache.avro.ipc",
+ *   "fields": [
+ *     {"name": "clientHash",
+ *      "type": {"type": "fixed", "name": "MD5", "size": 16}},
+ *     {"name": "clientProtocol", "type": ["null", "string"]},
+ *     {"name": "serverHash", "type": "MD5"},
+ *     {"name": "meta", "type": ["null", {"type": "map", "values": "bytes"}]}
+ *   ]
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ *   Schema schema = SchemaBuilder
+ *   .record("HandshakeRequest").namespace("org.apache.avro.ipc)
+ *   .fields()
+ *     .name("clientHash").type().fixed("MD5").size(16).noDefault()
+ *     .name("clientProtocol").type().nullable().stringType().noDefault()
+ *     .name("serverHash").type("MD5")
+ *     .name("meta").type().nullable().map().values().bytesType().noDefault()
+ *   .endRecord();
+ * </pre>
+ * <p/>
+ *
+ * <h5>Usage Guide</h5>
+ * SchemaBuilder chains together many smaller builders and maintains nested
+ * context in order to mimic the Avro Schema specification. Every Avro type in
+ * JSON has required and optional JSON properties, as well as user-defined
+ * properties.
+ * <p/>
+ * <h6>Selecting and Building an Avro Type</h6>
+ * The API analogy for the right hand side of the Avro Schema JSON
+ * <pre>
+ * "type":
+ * </pre>
+ * is a {@link TypeBuilder}, {@link FieldTypeBuilder}, or
+ * {@link UnionFieldTypeBuilder}, depending on the context. These types all
+ * share a similar API for selecting and building types.
+ * <p/>
+ * <h5>Primitive Types</h5>
+ * All Avro primitive types are trivial to configure. A primitive type in 
+ * Avro JSON can be declared two ways, one that supports custom properties
+ * and one that does not:
+ * <pre>
+ * {"type":"int"}
+ * {"type":{"name":"int"}}
+ * {"type":{"name":"int", "customProp":"val"}}
+ * </pre>
+ * The analogous code form for the above three JSON lines are the below
+ * three lines:
+ * <pre>
+ *  .intType()
+ *  .intBuilder().endInt()
+ *  .intBuilder().prop("customProp", "val").endInt()
+ * </pre>
+ * Every primitive type has a shortcut to create the trivial type, and
+ * a builder when custom properties are required.  The first line above is
+ * a shortcut for the second, analogous to the JSON case.
+ * <h6>Named Types</h6>
+ * Avro named types have names, namespace, aliases, and doc.  In this API
+ * these share a common parent, {@link NamespacedBuilder}.
+ * The builders for named types require a name to be constructed, and optional
+ * configuration via:
+ * <li>{@link NamespacedBuilder#doc()}</li>
+ * <li>{@link NamespacedBuilder#namespace(String)}</li>
+ * <li>{@link NamespacedBuilder#aliases(String...)}</li>
+ * <li>{@link PropBuilder#prop(String, Object)}</li>
+ * <p/>
+ * Each named type completes configuration of the optional properties
+ * with its own method:
+ * <li>{@link FixedBuilder#size(int)}</li>
+ * <li>{@link EnumBuilder#symbols(String...)}</li>
+ * <li>{@link RecordBuilder#fields()}</li>
+ * Example use of a named type with all optional parameters:
+ * <pre>
+ * .enumeration("Suit").namespace("org.apache.test")
+ *   .aliases("org.apache.test.OldSuit")
+ *   .doc("CardSuits")
+ *   .prop("customProp", "val")
+ *   .symbols("SPADES", "HEARTS", "DIAMONDS", "CLUBS")
+ * </pre>
+ * Which is equivalent to the JSON:
+ * <pre>
+ * { "type":"enum",
+ *   "name":"Suit", "namespace":"org.apache.test",
+ *   "aliases":["org.apache.test.OldSuit"],
+ *   "doc":"Card Suits",
+ *   "customProp":"val",
+ *   "symbols":["SPADES", "HEARTS", "DIAMONDS", "CLUBS"]
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ * <h6>Nested Types</h6>
+ * The Avro nested types, map and array, can have custom properties like
+ * all avro types, are not named, and must specify a nested type.
+ * After configuration of optional properties, an array or map 
+ * builds or selects its nested type with {@link ArrayBuilder#items()}
+ * and {@link MapBuilder#values()}, respectively.
+ *
+ * <h6>Fields</h6>
+ * {@link RecordBuilder#fields()} returns a {@link FieldAssembler} for 
+ * defining the fields of the record and completing it.
+ * Each field must have a name, specified via {@link 
FieldAssembler#name(String)},
+ * which returns a {@link FieldBuilder} for defining aliases, custom 
properties,
+ * and documentation of the field.  After configuring these optional values for
+ * a field, the type is selected or built with {@link FieldBuilder#type()}.
+ * <p/>
+ * Fields have default values that must be specified to complete the field.
+ * {@link FieldDefault#noDefault()} is available for all field types, and
+ * a specific method is available for each type to use a default, for example
+ * {@link IntDefault#intDefault(int)}
+ * <p/>
+ * There are field shortcut methods on {@link FieldAssembler} for primitive 
types.
+ * These shortcuts create required, optional, and nullable fields, but do not 
+ * support field aliases, doc, or custom properties.
+ *
+ * <h6>Unions</h6>
+ * Union types are built via {@link TypeBuilder#unionOf()} or
+ * {@link FieldTypeBuilder#unionOf()} in the context of type selection.
+ * This chains together multiple types, in union order.  For example:
+ * <pre>
+ * .unionOf()
+ *   .fixed("IPv4").size(4).and()
+ *   .fixed("IPv6").size(16).and()
+ *   .nullType().endUnion()
+ * </pre>
+ * is equivalent to the Avro schema JSON:
+ * <pre>
+ * [
+ *   {"type":"fixed", "name":"IPv4", "size":4},
+ *   {"type":"fixed", "name":"IPv6", "size":16},
+ *   "null"
+ * ]
+ * </pre>
+ * In a field context, the first type of a union defines what default type
+ * is allowed.
+ * </p>
+ * Unions have two shortcuts for common cases.  nullable()
+ * creates a union of a type and null.  In a field type context, optional()
+ * is available and creates a union of null and a type, with a null default.
+ * The below two are equivalent:
+ * <pre>
+ *   .unionOf().intType().and().nullType().endUnion()
+ *   .nullable().intType()
+ * </pre>
+ * The below two field declarations are equivalent:
+ * <pre>
+ *   
.name("f").type().unionOf().nullType().and().longType().endUnion().nullDefault()
+ *   .name("f").type().optional().longType()
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <h6>Explicit Types and Types by Name</h6>
+ * Types can also be specified explicitly by passing in a Schema, or by name:
+ * <pre>
+ *   .type(Schema.create(Schema.Type.INT)) // explicitly specified
+ *   .type("MD5")                       // reference by full name or short name
+ *   .type("MD5", "org.apache.avro.test")  // reference by name and namespace
+ * </pre>
+ * When a type is specified by name, and the namespace is absent or null, the
+ * namespace is inherited from the enclosing context.  A namespace will
+ * propagate as a default to child fields, nested types, or later defined types
+ * in a union.  To specify a name that has no namespace and ignore the 
inherited
+ * namespace, set the namespace to "".
+ * <p/>
+ * {@link SchemaBuilder#builder(String)} returns a type builder with a default
+ * namespace.  {@link SchemaBuilder#builder()} returns a type builder with no
+ * default namespace.
