Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1318:
------------------------------------
This is a different notion of "fingerprint" than is used in the Avro
specification:
http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#Schema+Fingerprints
Is the purpose the same? If so, perhaps this should implement the
specification. If not, can you please explain the purpose?
> Python schema should store fingerprints

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: python

> Attachments: AVRO-1318.patch

>
> Python schema objects need to produce a simple representation that
> demonstrates their field identity. {avro.schema.Schema} objects need to
> provide a {fingerprint} member field to enable quick checking of schema
> matching (even when the schema has other, possibly changed decoration).
> Based on a patch pulled from [~laserson]'s proposed changes to make a
> collection of C-typing hints. These changes will be backwards-compatible.
