Martin Tzvetanov Grigorov updated AVRO-3778:
--------------------------------------------
    Component/s: java

> Ability to perform semantic equality check for two schemas
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: AVRO-3778
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3778
>             Project: Apache Avro
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: java
>            Reporter: Swaranga Sarma
>            Priority: Major
>
> I would like to check if two schemas are equivalent. For instance:
> {{{"type":"record","name":"Person","fields":[\{"name":"name","type":"string"},\{"name":"age","type":"int"}]}}}
> {{and}}
> {{{"type":"record","name":"Person","fields":[\{"name":"age","type":"int"},\{"name":"name","type":"string"}]}}}
> can be considered semantically equivalent since the record has the same set of fields only just reordered in the declaration.
> If I do {{schema1.equals(schema2)}} for the above, the Avro Java library will say false. Would it be reasonable to add an "equivalence" method to detect such cases?
