This is an implementation detail that is not part of the spec. But I don't think it is worth bothering to enable both `["foo.bar"]` and `["foo", "bar"]` identifiers in the same schema. That's confusing for users, who will almost certainly be confused by tables with such odd structures. The reference implementation has been this way for about 7 years and no one has every complained or, to my knowledge, hit a problem with this in practice. I highly recommend focusing time and effort on other improvements. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
