>             Project: Apache Avro
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: java
>    Affects Versions: 1.9.0
>            Reporter: Benjamin Zikarsky
>            Priority: Major

> *Problem*
> With the current version of 1.9.0-SNAPSHOT (as of 9th of April 2019) the java compiler generates broken code under 2 circumstances:
> # Type A (e.g. {{foo.A}}) references Type B from a different namespace (e.g. {{bar.B}})
> # Both types fulfill the criteria of {{SpecificCompiler.isCustomCodable(..)}}
> This generates code where {{foo.A}} is generated with a {{protected customCode(...)}} which calls out to {{bar.B}}'s {{protected customCode(...)}}. This breaks as {{A}} cannot access {{B}}'s protected methods.
>  *Possible solutions*
> # Change the {{isCustomCodeable}} criteria in such a way that it fails for namespace-crossing type-references
> # Open up access to customCode/customDecode. This may expose internals though.
