-----------------------------------------
Summary: Avro code generation for C# doesn't support references to
types across files
Key: AVRO-3739
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3739
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: csharp
Reporter: Alexander Rosenfeld
Hi Apache Avro maintainers, thanks in advance for reviewing this. I'm using the
[https://www.nuget.org/packages/Apache.Avro] package (and also the `avrogen` C#
tool) to generate C# classes from my Avro schemas. I have a few common building
blocks to these schemas (common things like Enum definitions that get used in
multiple places across multiple files). I'd like to DRY them by defining them
once and _referencing_ them many times, instead of defining them everywhere I
need to use them.
I understand this behavior is possible with Avro in general. It also appears
that the JVM side of things supports this behavior through and through.
However, when I try to generate C# from Avro schema files that have this
multi-file connectivity, I get errors about not being able to resolve / find
the type.
I have posted a question on StackOverflow about this, it provides some example
JSON and C# for what I'm trying to do:

ps. apologies if the urgency is not right. I wasn't sure how to label this, so
I left it at the default. This is a pretty big missing feature to me.
