[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-1318) Python schema should store fingerprints

["Doug Cutting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1318?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13696996#comment-13696996 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1318:
------------------------------------

This is a different notion of "fingerprint" than is used in the Avro specification:

http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#Schema+Fingerprints

Is the purpose the same?  If so, perhaps this should implement the specification.  If not, can you please explain the purpose?

> Python schema objects need to produce a simple representation that demonstrates their field identity.   {avro.schema.Schema} objects need to provide a {fingerprint} member field to enable quick checking of schema matching (even when the schema has other, possibly changed decoration).
> Based on a patch pulled from [~laserson]'s proposed changes to make a collection of C-typing hints.  These changes will be backwards-compatible.
