             Summary: Protobuf object newRecord fails with ClassNotFoundException
                 Key: AVRO-1599
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1599
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: java
    Affects Versions: 1.7.7
            Reporter: AlexandrosB


When attempting to convert a Protobuf object to Avro I get a runtime error, stating that my Protobuf object class cannot be found.

Schema protoSchema = protodata.getSchema(Class.forName("instart.log.AccessLog$AccessLogEntry"));
Object obj = protodata.newRecord(a, protoSchema); // --> FAILS

The class is in the classpath, but the outer class name is AccessLog not Accesslog. Following the code it seems that the getNamespace() method in the ProtobufData.java, converts the outer class name to camelCase, and, hence, it cannot be found later.
