Raymie Stata commented on AVRO-1006:
------------------------------------
Having slept on it, I don't think that the Schema class is a good place for
this code. Rather, I'll create a o.a.avro.util.SchemaFP class, which will
contain a static method to canonicalize schemas (ie, the code in the current
patch), and will also contain static methods for generating fingerprints of
various lengths (64-bit CRC fingerprints, 128-bit MD5 fingerprints, etc). I'll
try to post something over the next few days. But in the meantime, please
continue commenting as if that's the plan of record.
