Jeremy Kahn commented on AVRO-1296:
-----------------------------------
Commenting to nudge this issue.
Can somebody review these Python patches? It's a small change but it fixes a
fairly serious obstacle to using Avro files as a Java/Python interlingua for
on-disk storage.
> Python: schemas retrieved from protocol types ignore namespace
> --------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: AVRO-1296
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1296
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: python
> Affects Versions: 1.7.4
> Reporter: Jeremy Kahn
> Assignee: Jeremy Kahn
> Fix For: 1.7.5
>
> Attachments: AVRO-1296a.patch, AVRO-1296b.patch

> If I parse a protocol {{p}} using {{avro.protocol.parse}}, which defines
> {{"namespace": "ns"}} and then retrieve a child schema {{s}} from the
> protocol's {{proto.types}} (or {{proto.types_dict}}), then {{s}} does not
> have its namespace set (to {{ns}}), even if {{p}} has a namespace.
> This is particularly problematic if I'm using {{s}} to write out an avro file
> intended to be read by a specific-type reader, because the file header will
> claim to be objects of type {{s}} (not {{ns.s}}, as expected).
> I've attached two patches: one that makes sure that the {{namespace}}
> property of protocol types is set to the default namespace of the protocol
> when not otherwise set.
> The second patch ensures that the {{namespace}} is *not* rendered into JSON
> when a default protocol specifies the right value already.
