Description

{
  "type": "record",
  "name": "EventName",
  "namespace": "com.company.avro.schemas",
  "fields": [
    {"name": "eventname_model",
     "type": {
       "type": "enum",
       "namespace": "com.company.models",
       "name": "EventName",
       "symbols": ["XXXX"]
     }
    }
 ]
}

Such a schema is perfectly valid but the C library does no handle it because it does not parse the namespace field.
