Daniel Schierbeck updated AVRO-1645:
------------------------------------
Description:
I've written a Ruby library that wraps the Avro Ruby library and provides a
"registry" of schemas. The idea is to allow users to avoid repeating themselves
by allowing inter-schema references using the type names. At runtime any
missing type is resolved by loading the relevant schema from disk.
This works great, but depends on parsing the error message from the
Avro::SchemaParseError exception, extracting the name of the missing type. If
there was a more specific subclass, e.g. Avro::MissingSchemaError, that
provided an attribute with the name of the schema, my library would be a lot
more robust. I'd rather not have everything break if you change the error
message.
I'd be happy to code this myself (it's a rather trivial and backwards
compatible change), but I'd prefer to get a +1 here first.
Here's the project: https://github.com/dasch/avro_turf (still in development)
