[jira] [Updated] (AVRO-1324) Avro-C: namespace lookup and inherited namespaces

["Ben Walsh (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1324?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ben Walsh updated AVRO-1324:
----------------------------

    Attachment: namespace.patch

This patch also adds more testing to test_avro_schema.c so that it does a read-write-read and compares the two schemas read.

Also schema writing doesn't write the namespace where it's the same as the inherited one.

> It seems that the C version of Avro doesn't resolve fully-qualified type names, and it doesn't
> understand inherited namespaces.
> For example this doesn't work:
> {"type": "record", "namespace": "x", "name": "Y", "fields": [
>   {"name": "e", "type": {"type": "record", "name": "Z", "fields": [
>     {"name": "f", "type": "x.Z"}
>   ]}}
> ]}
> It can't find the type "x.Z".
> (this is similar to a Ruby problem https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-635).
