Raymie Stata commented on AVRO-1022:
------------------------------------
I took a look at the non-Java implementations. PHP validates names against the
current spec (i.e., ASCII letters only). The rest don't validate names at all.
If we declared the current spec correct, then "fixing" all of the
implementations would consist of adding (or, for Java, changing) 2-3 lines of
simple, name-validation code, and some more code to turn validation on and off.
If we went the other way (chance the spec), we'd have to answer a bunch of
design questions (decide what is a "letter," decide on normalization, figure
out how to mangle names in various languages, etc.), and then implement
validation in each language (which, as Thiru points out, would include adding
an ICU dependency for C/C++, and maybe others (Ruby? PHP?)), and then
implementing mangling where needed (a lot more than a few-line change).
As a practical matter, this wouldn't get done, and as the universe of Avro
users becomes bigger and bigger, fixing this broken corner of the Avro universe
will become harder and harder.
