Jarek Rosiek updated AVRO-2728:
-------------------------------
Affects Version/s: 1.10.0
> idl2schemata: same types in different namespaces => overwritten files
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-2728
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2728
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: tools
> Affects Versions: 1.10.0, 1.9.1
> Reporter: Jarek Rosiek
> Priority: Major
>
> For the following AVDL:
> {code:java}
> @namespace("ns1")
> protocol Proto {
> record Foo {
> ns2.Foo foo;
> }
> @namespace("ns2")
> record Foo {
> int x;
> }
> }
> {code}
> the tool will generate just a single file named {{Foo.avsc}} with the schema
> of the last record Foo.
>
> Suggested solution:
> Add an option to the {{idl2schemata}} command named, for example,
> {{-fqnames}} that will make the tool generate files named using full
> qualified type names. For example, for the protocol shown above the files
> would be named:
> {code:java}
> ns1.Foo.avsc
> ns2.Foo.avsc{code}
>
> Impact:
> My company wanted to use Avro IDL as a specification format for the schemas
> (more readable, ability to import other files). We need to push the schemas
> to kafka Schema Registry. We could use {{idl2schemata}} to generate schemas
> in JSON format but we risk pushing wrong schema whenever different teams
> working on schemas from different namespaces create a type with the same base
> name.
