Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1318:
------------------------------------
An alternative is to add an entirely new API and deprecate the old one.
If we add a new API it would be good to have it object-based rather than
dictionary-based (AVRO-283), and for it to correctly resolve unions, using
record names rather than recursive validation (AVRO-1343).

> Key: AVRO-1318

> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: python
> Reporter: Jeremy Kahn
> Assignee: Jeremy Kahn
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: features
> 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.
