             Summary: Java package/class bindings for specific records
                 Key: AVRO-1903
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1903
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: java
    Affects Versions: 1.8.1
            Reporter: Frederic Boucher


Naming convention of the Avro schemas we create are not always in line with the Java coding convention. The maven-plugin to generate specific record classes should provide a way to bind namespace or schema names to a custom Java package or class name.

We have implemented a solution where we can add bindings into the maven-plugin configuration:

One to one binding:
<binding>
    <from>com.namspace.order.state</from>
    <to>com.package.Order</to>
</binding>
It will create a class "Order" into package "com.package" for schema "state" and namespace "com.namspace.order"

Reg-exp based binding:
<binding>
    <from>com.namespace.order.([a-zA-Z]+)</from>
    <to>com.package.order.Order$1</to>
</binding>

Bindings are matched in order, which means the most specific bindings have to be put before the generic ones.
