Fedor Telnov updated AVRO-3763:
-------------------------------
Description:
Working with Refs should be somehow improved. Currently the only "normal"
way(AFAIK) to work with them is to build a record, add a field with general
type and then in the same record use this type. But let's say I want to
reference type that belongs to completely different Schema. How can I do it
currently? Maybe I'm missing associated workflow, correct me if I'm wrong.
What I really want is to somehow link related schemas(like through Vec<Schema>
or something like that) and be able to`value.validate` and `value.resolve` on
that set of schemas.
If it is not possible, that should be somehow reworked, because working with
multiple schemas and refs is almost a complete pain currently.
