[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-1021) Fix a few name-related imperfections in Avro spec

["Scott Carey (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1021?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13203326#comment-13203326 ] 

Scott Carey commented on AVRO-1021:
-----------------------------------

* There is a minor typo:  "wdepth-first"

* Implementations that previously allowed for the previously lax restrictions may need to continue to support that for some use cases.  For example, if there is an Avro Data File or old schema that used a name before defining it that currently works, there must be a way for future versions to continue to work. 

If we decide to accept this change, we should first provide an integration test for all languages that checks conformance, for those languages that previously supported 'declare before use' that there is still a mechanism that can parse such schemas.

> Require names are defined before used; disallow multiple definitions of names; clarify that name-equality is case sensitive (for type names, field names, and enum symbols).
