Jeremy Kahn created AVRO-1331:
---------------------------------
Summary: Java reader backwards-compatibility breakage
Key: AVRO-1331
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1331
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.7.5
Reporter: Jeremy Kahn
Attachments: stripped-snipped.avro, stripped-snipped.schema
For some cases where we encode Avro data with Avro 1.7.4, it is not readable
with Avro 1.7.5-SNAPSHOT post AVRO-1295: the Java decoder is unable to discover
the root definitions
Among the properties of (some) schemas that trigger this failure:
- an explicit empty string in the root namespace and
- uses other namespaces elsewhere in the schema,
- has a recursive reference to the root
A sample schema and a sample datafile with one example encoded with that schema
are attached.
This datafile cannot be read with Java deserializers (and I believe that the
schema cannot be parsed by the Java schema parser).
