------------------------------------
Summary: 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
Reporter: Swaranga Sarma
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?
