Timothy Dimo created AVRO-3655:
----------------------------------
Summary: Avro Tools idl2schemata does not check for duplicate enum
or record names
Key: AVRO-3655
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3655
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: tools
Affects Versions: 1.11.1, 1.10.2
Reporter: Timothy Dimo
Attachments: image-2022-10-25-16-27-54-778.png
When creating an Avro IDL file, if the developer adds multiple enumerations
and/or records with the same name, no error or warning is shown when generating
the AVSC file via the *avro-tools* +idl2schemata+ operation. For example, given
the following AVDL file...
{code:java}
@namespace("yournamespace")
protocol ExampleSchema
{
enum typeCode{AA,BB,CC,DD}
enum typeCode{ZZ,YY,XX,VV}
record name{ typeCode typeCode; }
record address{ typeCode typeCode; }
record address{ string someName; }
record message{ address address; name name; }
}{code}
...the generated AVSC will show (I'm having some trouble with the formatting
here so I'll include an image and the text):
!image-2022-10-25-16-27-54-778.png|width=382,height=585!
{code:java}
{ "type" : "record", "name" : "message", "namespace" : "yournamespace",
"fields" : [ { "name" : "address", "type" : { "type" : "record",
"name" : "address", "fields" : [ { "name" : "someName",
"type" : "string" } ] } }, { "name" : "name", "type" : {
"type" : "record", "name" : "name", "fields" : [ { "name" :
"typeCode", "type" : { "type" : "enum", "name" :
"typeCode", "symbols" : [ "ZZ", "YY", "XX", "VV" ] } } ]
} } ]}
{code}
Here, the first enumeration is ignored, as is the first definition of address.
