---------------------------------
Summary: [Spec] Clarify which names are allowed to be qualified
with namespaces
Key: AVRO-3436
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3436
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Ryan Skraba
The doc specifies that
{quote}the name portion of a fullname, record field names, and enum symbols
must match _[an alphanumeric regex without periods]_
{quote}
[https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/release-1.11.0/doc/src/content/xdocs/spec.xml#L277-L282]
At first glance this could be read to imply that record field names and enum
symbols have a "name portion" or that they could be fully qualified with a
namespace, which is not the case.
It would be simple and clear to specify that they are unqualified names at the
definition of a field or enum symbol, as well as word this differently.
