> Related to AVRO-1295, a reference to a nested named schema with an empty namespace cannot be parsed. An example of such a schema is as follows:
> {code}
> {
>   "type" : "record",
>   "name" : "Outer",
>   "namespace" : "space",
>   "fields" : [ {
>     "name" : "f1",
>     "type" : {
>       "type" : "record",
>       "name" : "Inner",
>       "namespace" : "",
>       "fields" : [ ]
>     }
>   }, {
>     "name" : "f2",
>     "type" : "Inner"
>   } ]
> }
> {code}
> Attempting to parse this results in the following exception:
> org.apache.avro.SchemaParseException: "Inner" is not a defined name. The type of the "f2" field must be a defined name or a \{"type": ...\} expression.
> The issue seems to be that the lookup for the name "Inner" is done with the namspace of the encoding record, and not with the empty namespace for this case.
