[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-1385) Enum reader/writer resolution doesn't report errors

["Christophe Taton (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1385?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13792222#comment-13792222 ] 

Christophe Taton commented on AVRO-1385:
----------------------------------------

I am not sure whether this approach works fine. Reading through the unit-tests, it looks like decoding an enum { A, B, C } as an enum { B, C } is supposed to not trigger any error at schema resolution time. I believe that this contradicts the specification. Do I misunderstand something?

> According to the specification, when a reader enum does not contain all symbols from the writer enum, an error should be signaled.
> ResolvingGrammarGenerator fails to report such errors.
> In particular, mkEnumAdjust() silently maps unknown symbols of the writers with symbols named "No match for [writer symbol]".

> Shouldn't this instead create an ErrorAction?
