Nandor Kollar updated AVRO-1485: -------------------------------- Status: Patch Available (was: Open) > Specification says Record field type can be record name but implementation > allows any named type. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-1485 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1485 > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
