Doug Cutting updated AVRO-838:
------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.5.2
Assignee: Doug Cutting
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
The current patch disables all name validation for schemas read from data
files. This makes Java tolerant in what it accepts from other Avro
implementations, including older versions of Java.
> 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.
