[jira] Commented: (AVRO-30) name lookup should consider namespace

["Raymie Stata (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-30?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12727337#action_12727337 ] 

Raymie Stata commented on AVRO-30:
----------------------------------

Back to namespaces: I agree that we should eliminate namespaces for schemas but keep them for protocols.

Implications:

* When comparing two schemas each from a different protocol, the namespaces of the containing protocols should be ignored.

* The Avro spec says that records exchanged during RPC handshake use a"namespace of "org.apache.avro.ipc".  This should be removed.

> When a record schema is referred to by name, Avro will currently return any known record definition with that name, regardless of its namespace.  Instead, unqualified references should refer to names in the current namespace, and namespace-qualfied names should look for a record in the given namespace.
