Sachin Goyal commented on AVRO-1285:
------------------------------------

There is an old ticket for circular references in the code as well : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-695
You might want to use its patch locally if you need to support circular refs in data as well.

> While declaring a Schema, doing a circular reference is not possible if the Schema for the external reference is in another file. Attached is a project that provides 2 schemas that exhibits this missing feature.
