Sean Busbey updated AVRO-1645:
------------------------------
Attachment: AVRO-1645.1.patch
Attaching patch from [github pr #26|https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/26],
with commit message modified to match the contributor guide.
+1 (non-binding) patch looks good to me. It's backwards compatible, so could go
into 1.7 and 1.8. It passes ruby tests.
> Improved handling of missing named types

> 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've added a PR here: https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/26
> Here's the project: https://github.com/dasch/avro_turf (still in development)
