Scott Carey commented on AVRO-612:
----------------------------------
We need a way to serialize only the 'important' bits of a schema for things
like the file format. Currently, toString() does this minimal version of a
schema.
Is it sufficient to only add 'doc' fields when pretty-printing?
What should we do about custom fields?
> Schema.toString() strips out field docs

> Key: AVRO-612
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-612
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.3.3
> Reporter: David Rosenstrauch
> Priority: Minor
>
> Although avro can successfully parse schema text that contains a "doc" on a
> Schema.Field, when a Schema containing a field doc is serialized (via
> Schema.toString()) the doc does not get written.
> The following JUnit test case demonstrates this problem:
> {code:title=TestAvroFieldDocSerialization.java|borderStyle=solid}
> import junit.framework.TestCase;
> import org.apache.avro.Schema;
> public class TestAvroFieldDocSerialization extends TestCase {
> public void testAvroFieldDocSerialization() {
> String schemaStr =
> "{"+
> " \"name\": \"Rec\","+
> " \"type\": \"record\","+
> " \"fields\" : ["+
> " {\"name\": \"f\", \"type\": \"int\",
> \"doc\": \"test\"}"+
> " ]"+
> "}";
> Schema schema = Schema.parse(schemaStr);
> verifyFieldDoc(schema);
> schemaStr = schema.toString();
> schema = Schema.parse(schemaStr);
> verifyFieldDoc(schema);
> }
> private void verifyFieldDoc(Schema schema) {
> Schema.Field field = schema.getField("f");
> assertEquals("test", field.doc());
> }
> }
> {code}
> Note that the first call to verifyFieldDoc() succeeds, while the second one
> fails. They should both succeed (in my opinion).
