[jira] [Commented] (FLINK-18096) Generated avro formats should support user specified name and namespace

Robin Neufeld commented on FLINK-18096   Re: Generated avro formats should support user specified name and namespace Without being able to customize the namespace and record name that Flink generates, it's very difficult to use this in a large organization. At my work we have a schema registry that is used by many teams, and everyone pre-registers their schemas. There are conventions about what the namespace and record name should be. We also enforce backwards and forwards compatibility to schema changes. When using this Flink connector/format, it tries to edit the name/namespace on the schema, which fails since it counts as backwards incompatible. It seems like a small detail, but it is a major obstacle for using this implementation. Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010-sha1:ace47f9)
