             Summary: avro schema compatibility checking does not work for 
records.
                 Key: AVRO-1836
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1836
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.8.0
            Reporter: Yan Cui
            Priority: Blocker


Hi Guys, 

We found a problem when calling avro's compatibility checking. 
Specifically, we used the function checkReaderWriterCompatibility, 
it works with no problem when we provides simple schema, like 
oldschema={"type":"int"} schema={"type":"long"}, but when we use complicated 
schema, like 
oldschema={"type":"record","name":"twitter","fields":[{"name":"username","type":"string"}]}

schema={"type":"record","name":"twitter","fields":[{"name":"username","type":"string"}]}

it reports that record name(twitter in this case) cannot be redefined. 
When one rename the second schema, it told me the two schema are not 
compatible. Actually, for the completed case, oldschema and schema are exactly 
the same, the output is expected to be compatible.

Do you guys have any ideas about this?

Thanks, Yan
