Hi,

I've been attempting to understand the implementation of Avro schema
compatibility rules and am slightly confused by the structure of the code.
It seems that there are at least two possible entry points:

   - org.apache.avro.SchemaCompatibility.checkReaderWriterCompatibility(Schema,
   Schema)
   - org.apache.avro.SchemaValidatorBuilder

The code paths of these do not seem to intersect, with one implementing a
static set of rule checks and the other seemingly delegating to grammar
based approach. Does this imply that there are in fact two implementations
of the compatibility rules?

Apologies if this is a naïve question.

Thanks,

Elliot.
