Sean Busbey created AVRO-1485:
---------------------------------
Summary: Specification says Record field type can be record name
but implementation allows any named type.
Key: AVRO-1485
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1485
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: java, spec
Affects Versions: 1.7.6
Reporter: Sean Busbey
The [specification for Record
fields|http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.6/spec.html#schema_record] says that the
type is
bq. A JSON object defining a schema, or a JSON string naming a record
definition (required).
AFAICT, the Java implementation allows for any [named
type|http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.6/spec.html#Names].
The specification should be updated to state any named type is allowed or the
Java implementation should restrict what can be used. The former seems less
likely to disturb current users.
