Support reading of files created with Avro 1.5 that use invalid characters in
field and record names
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-838
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-838
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.5.1, 1.5.0
Reporter: Ken Krugler
Avro 1.4 had a bug that let users create schemas with invalid characters in
field and record names.
For example, the '-' character used to be allowed in field and record names,
but Avro 1.5 will now fail.
We need some kind of compatibility mode that supports schemas with invalid
characters, so that existing files created with Avro 1.4 can be read by Avro
1.5.
