> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: java, spec
> Affects Versions: 1.7.6
> Reporter: Sean Busbey
> Assignee: Nandor Kollar
> Attachments: AVRO-1485_1.patch

>
> The [specification for Record
> fields|http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.6/spec.html#schema_record] says that
> the type is
> bq. A JSON object defining a schema, or a JSON string naming a record
> definition (required).
> AFAICT, the Java implementation allows for any [named
> type|http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.6/spec.html#Names].
> The specification should be updated to state any named type is allowed or the
> Java implementation should restrict what can be used. The former seems less
> likely to disturb current users.
