Scott Carey commented on AVRO-1325:
-----------------------------------
The field syntax could have shortcuts too -- since the FieldsBuilder currently
has only two methods (name() and endRecord()), we could add a few shortcut
methods for the most common use cases.
{quote}
Why have type() and type(Schema)?
{quote}
{code}
Schema person = new Schema.Parser().parse(Person.avsc); // or lookup from
schema repo
Schema job = new SchemaBuilder.record("Job").fields()
.name("title").type().stringType().noDefault()
.name("who").type(person).noDefault()
.endRecord();
Schema meeting = new SchemaBuilder.record("Meeting").fields()
.name("location").type().stringType().noDefault()
.name("attendees").type().array().items(person).noDefault()
.endRecord();
{code}
{quote}Error type is missing, but this can be easily added.{quote}
I wondered what to do here, since Error is for Protocols only, perhaps add it
when we add a ProtocolBuilder or extend SchemaBuilder to support protocols?
