------------------------------------
Any objections to committing this?
> ReflectData should determine inner class names in a different way.

> Key: AVRO-2143
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2143
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.7.7
> Reporter: Miguel
> Assignee: Doug Cutting
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.9.0
>
>
> I used ReflectData to generate schemas containing inner classes. These
> classes were named automatically by ReflectData with dollar ('$'), with, for
> example com.company.avro.House$Type. Nevertheless @AvroAlias does not support
> aliases containing '$' in names. In particulr, it fails in validateName in
> Schema core class. The failure is correct given that AVRO name specs does
> notinclude the '$' symbol.
> I suppose that ReflectData should, for example, generate inner class names in
> a different way, such as replacing '$' by dots ('.'), or it should fail.
> And a detail: Although I cannot add aliases with '$', I can still encode and
> decode such objects and inner classes using that schema.
> I think that it newer versions it is also happening.
