> Support pre-defining types within GoraCompiler
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GORA-397
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GORA-397
> Project: Apache Gora
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: avro, gora-compiler
> Affects Versions: 0.5
> Reporter: Lewis John McGibbney
> Fix For: 0.6
>
>
> Right now in the GoraCompiler we do not support predefining field types based
> on ordering of .avsc as it is passed into the GoraCompiler.
> This is supported in the Avro SpecificCompiler meaning that you can write
> schemas which inherit fields of custom type based on the compiler reading the
> custom type before it is used within the compilation and use of this type in
> another schema.
> This feature is VERY useful when working with scomplex schema models and
> where you wish to separate out and maintain individual objects rather than
> explicitly nest them in large, difficult to maintain schema objects!
