Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1318:
------------------------------------
I'd prefer we don't overload the term 'fingerprint'. Perhaps this could be
called 'profile' or 'signature' instead? Or it might be reworked to actually
be "parsing canonical form".
It's also strange to me to add something like this without adding a use of it.
It doesn't seem like an end-user feature. If it's to aid performance, then the
performance improvements should probably be added too, validating these changes.
Perhaps we should we try to get Uri to contribute his Perf branch?

>
> 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.
