             Summary: SpecificRecord decoding fails if Java keyword is used as record name
                 Key: AVRO-2956
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2956
             Project: Apache Avro
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: java
    Affects Versions: 1.10.0
            Reporter: Richard Fussenegger


Someone created an Avro definition where the name of a record is {{case}}:

{code:none}
protocol Proto {
    record case {
        string value;
    }

    record Wrapper {
        case inner;
    }
}
{code}

Code generation works and the generated Java code uses {{case$}} for the class name of the record. There is no problem in writing the Java code itself, however, decoding with a {{SpecificRecord.getDecoder()}} fails with a {{ClassCastException}}:

{code:none}
class org.apache.avro.generic.GenericData$Record cannot be cast to class case$ (org.apache.avro.generic.GenericData$Record and case$ are in unnamed module of loader 'app')
java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.apache.avro.generic.GenericData$Record cannot be cast to class case$ (org.apache.avro.generic.GenericData$Record and case$ are in unnamed module of loader 'app')
{code}
