Thun Hak commented on AVRO-3890:
--------------------------------
ok, yes, this would work, but I think adding isImported is more convenient here
since it would take years before this new syntax is adopted in existing repos.
I dont think it's reasonable to ask all teams to update their avdls (thousands
of them) to this new syntax.
> Add feature to know if schema is imported in avdl
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-3890
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3890
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.11.2, 1.11.3
> Reporter: Thun Hak
> Priority: Minor
>
> consider the this invoice.avdl:
> {code:java}
> @namespace("purchase")
> protocol InvoiceProtocol{
> import idl "../customer/data.avdl";
> import idl "../product/data.avdl";
> record Invoice{
> timestamp_ms purchaseTime;
> customer.Customer customer;
> array<product.Item> items = [];
> }
> }{code}
> now, if I do this:
> {code:java}
> for(Schema s : protocol.getTypes()){
> System.out.println(s.getName() + " " + s.isImported());
> }{code}
> this should produce
> {code:java}
> Customer true
> Item true
> Invoice false{code}
> I have some use case where we want to perform operations only to the "main"
> schema and leave all imported schema alone.
> This feature (s.isImported()) would be really nice to have (if it's not
> available already).
> Thanks
