> The thing I like about current `.avsc` files is that they are complete. Using external references breaks that, and would require some form of compilation/resolution to name the schema complete again.
>
> Instead, one can also use `.avdl` (IDL) files: these support resolving imports from both
>
> * the file system (splitting large schemata in multiple files) and
> * the class path (allowing your dependency system to import schemata by version)
avsc and avdl are not equivalent, avsc is a data format for schemas while avdl is a format for interfaces/protocols.
avdl is not serialization/deserialization friendly. but it's json representation .avpr is.
I understand your point.
What about this change enabling a new schema format? let's call it ".ravsc".
.avsc remains references free .ravsc introduces references support...
Think about this PR about enabling the ability to implement .ravsc ....
to understand why I think this is worthwhile, see the use cases I described [at](https://github.com/zolyfarkas/jaxrs-spf4j-demo/wiki/AvroReferences#why-avro-references).
