Zezeng Wang commented on AVRO-2571:
-----------------------------------
Public is a modifier and cannot be used as a package name.
Java keywords have special meaning for java compilers. They are used to
represent a data type, or to represent the structure of a program. Keywords
cannot be used as variable names, method names, class names, or package names.
I think avro should not want to break the java syntax specification, maybe you
can change the name.
