Doug Cutting updated AVRO-838:
------------------------------
Attachment: AVRO-838.patch
Here's a patch for this.
Can folks please verify that this permits them to open files whose schemas
contain illegal names?
Also, should we try to convert these names to valid names, e.g., replacing '-'
with '_' or somesuch?
> Support reading of files created with Avro 1.5 that use invalid characters in
> field and record names

>
> 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.
