---------------------------------
Summary: Protobuf object newRecord fails with
ClassNotFoundException
Key: AVRO-1599
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1599
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.7.7
Reporter: AlexandrosB
When attempting to convert a Protobuf object to Avro I get a runtime error,
stating that my Protobuf object class cannot be found.

Schema protoSchema =
protodata.getSchema(Class.forName("instart.log.AccessLog$AccessLogEntry"));
Object obj = protodata.newRecord(a, protoSchema); // --> FAILS

The class is in the classpath, but the outer class name is AccessLog not
Accesslog. Following the code it seems that the getNamespace() method in the
ProtobufData.java, converts the outer class name to camelCase, and, hence, it
cannot be found later.
