graham sanderson commented on AVRO-1006:
----------------------------------------
Note, more succinctly, given that I and other people in this issue have been
discussing or inferring schema repositories, I think maybe it makes sense in
general or at least as a separate issue to deal with a digest of the schema in
its entirety, even if that results in a number of hash values mapping to
equivalent schemas. Generally I think the use cases don't involve insane
quantities of schemas in the first place (although I won't say that for
certain, because the ability to define an anonymous schema on the fly for
certain applications is rather appealing)
