Jeremy Kahn commented on AVRO-1255:
-----------------------------------
new patch added. Rather than adding in new tests, I discovered that several
stringification functions (used throughout the tests) could be simplified with
this access.
The new patch (1255-b) simplifies those stringification methods in just that
way, so the new behavior is well-exercised by the tests.
> Python schema (message, protocol) to_json names argument should be optional

> Key: AVRO-1255
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1255
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: python
> Affects Versions: 1.7.3
> Reporter: Jeremy Kahn
> Priority: Minor

> Attachments: avro-1255-b.patch, avro-1255.patch

>
> The {{avro.protocol.Protocol}}, {{avro.protocol.Message}}, and various
> classes in {{avro.schema}} all support a {{to_json}} method which renders the
> data in Python generics (easily renderable to json).
> These methods all take a required {{names}} argument (of type
> {{avro.schema.Names}}) which stores state representing what types have
> already been rendered.
> For debugging -- and for other uses of the schema -- it is helpful if the
> {{names}} argument is optional. When it is not provided, each method should
> construct an empty {{schema.Names}} object internally. {{to_json}} thus can
> be invoked without argument to get the relevant rendering of the current
> schema in isolation.
> Patch to be attached.
