-------------------------------------
[~teabot] now AVRO-1933 is committed to master, due to this your PR has several
merge conflicts. Could you please update it with merging your changes to latest
Apache master?
> Report specific location of schema incompatibilities
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-2003
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2003
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.8.1
> Environment: Any java env
> Reporter: Elliot West
> Assignee: Elliot West
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.9.0

> Attachments: AVRO-2003.patch

> h2. Overview
> Building on the work to improve schema incompatibility reporting in
> AVRO-1933, it would be useful if the {{SchemaCompatibility}} classes could
> also report the location in the schema where any incompatibility was
> encountered.
> It is recommended that the location reported is both easily readable by
> humans and machines. In the first case this would assist schema developers to
> pin-point issues in there schema documents, and in the latter case it
> provides a useful mechanism to schema tooling, such as IDEs and editors, to
> easily select the pertinent nodes in the Schema document tree.
> h2. Implementation specifics
> To meet this requirements it is suggested that the location is encoded using
> the [JSON Pointer specification|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901]. This is
> both easily parsed by users, but is also supported by a number of libraries
> for a range of common programming languages and platforms.
> h2. Examples
> Given the following example schema, consider some incompatibility scenarios.
> For each case an expected JSON Pointer description of the incompatibility
> location is described:
> {code}
> {
> "type": "record",
> "name": "myRecord",
> "fields" : [
> {"name": "pField", "type": "long"},
> {"name": "uField", "type":
> ["null", "int", "string"]
> },
> {"name": "eField", "type":
> { "type": "enum", "name": "Suit", "symbols" : ["SPADES", "HEARTS",
> "DIAMONDS", "CLUBS"] }
> },
> {"name": "aField", "type":
> {"type": "array", "items": "string"}
> },
> {"name": "mField", "type":
> {"type": "map", "values": "long"}
> },
> {"name": "fField", "type":
> {"type": "fixed", "size": 16, "name": "md5"}
> }
> ]
> }
> {code}
> Possible incompatibility scenarions and the location that would be reported
> back to the user/tool:
> * Root type incompatibility; report location: {{/}}
> * Record name mismatch; report location: {{/name}}
> * {{pField}} type incompatibility; report location: {{/fields/0/type}}
> * {{uField}} field type incompatibility; report location: {{/fields/1/type}}
> * {{uField}} missing union branch {{string}}; report location:
> {{/fields/1/type/2}}
> * {{eField}} field type incompatibility; report location: {{/fields/2/type}}
> * {{eField}} missing enum symbol; report location: {{/fields/2/type/symbols}}
> * {{eField}} enum name mismatch; report location: {{/fields/2/type/name}}
> * {{aField}} field type incompatibility; report location: {{/fields/3/type}}
> * {{aField}} array element type incompatibility; report location:
> {{/fields/3/type/items}}
> * {{mField}} field type incompatibility; report location: {{/fields/4/type}}
> * {{mField}} map value type incompatibility; report location:
> {{/fields/4/type/values}}
> * {{fField}} field type incompatibility; report location: {{/fields/5/type}}
> * {{fField}} fixed name mismatch; report location: {{/fields/5/type/name}}
> * {{fField}} fixed size type incompatibility; report location:
> {{/fields/5/type/size}}
> * {{fField}} missing default value; report location: {{/fields/5}}
> h2. Notes
> * This ticket depends on AVRO-1933 and associated patches.
