Description

Utilizing the ProtobufData functionality to generate avro output, we run into a complication when consuming this output using the c++ based avro reader. Seems it doesn't much like the '$' of a nesting outer class that is inherent with protocol buffers in java.

Exception opening file for read:Invalid namespace: com.xxx.base.message.MessageProtos$

in

avro::DataFileReader<avro::GenericDatum>* file_reader;
file_reader = new avro::DataFileReader<avro::GenericDatum>(file_name.c_str());]
