Sachin Goyal commented on AVRO-1285:
------------------------------------
There is an old ticket for circular references in the code as well :
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-695
You might want to use its patch locally if you need to support circular refs in
data as well.
> Avro schema compile does not support circular reference
