Oscar Westra van Holthe - Kind commented on AVRO-3135:
------------------------------------------------------
Schema references are currently implemented based on their full name (including
namespace). These can be made available ("imported") by reading the
corresponding schema files with the parser first.
Another way is to use the IDL format to write your schemas, as these allow you
to explicitly define which IDL, schema or protocol file you want to import.
How would this work with the IDL format?
