Python library allows for incorrect field names in schema validation
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-621
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-621
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: python
Affects Versions: 1.3.3
Reporter: Gavin M. Roy
When using the schema.parse() function, you can pass in fields with the name
parameter violating the [A-Za-z_] specified for field names. As the c library
(and others I assume) strictly check for this, it is possible to create a
scenario where the schema is incompatible across languages.
For example, one can make a field: {"name": "15_miles", "type": "null"} which
would be invalid elsewhere due to the name.
