Description

AVDL files containing fields called "uuid" no longer compile on version 1.11.0 (they did compile on 1.10.2). Using backticks for the field name also results in an error.

protocol Test {
  record Test {
    string uuid;
  }
} 

Results in an error : org.apache.avro.compiler.idl.ParseException: Encountered " "uuid" "uuid "" at line 3, column 12.

Was expecting one of:
<IDENTIFIER> ...
 "@" ...
 "`" ...

If you escape the field name using backticks:

protocol Test {
  record Test {
    string `uuid`;
  }
} 

an error is also raised (because uuid does not seem to be a reserved name):

org.apache.avro.compiler.idl.ParseException: Encountered " "uuid" "uuid "" at line 3, column 13.
Was expecting one of:
"array" ...
"boolean" ...
"double" ...
"enum" ...
"error" ...
"false" ...
"fixed" ...
"float" ...
"int" ...
"long" ...
"map" ...
"bytes" ...
"schema" ...
"string" ...
"protocol" ...
"record" ...
"throws" ...
"true" ...
"union" ...
"void" ...
"date" ...
"time_ms" ...
"timestamp_ms" ...
"decimal" ...
"local_timestamp_ms" ...
<IDENTIFIER> ...
