• Type: Bug
• Status: Resolved

• Resolution: Fixed
• Affects Version/s: 1.8.0

Description

The problem is in the generated 'readExternal' and 'writeExternal' functions, because they do something like:

WRITER$.write(this, org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificData.getEncoder(out));

When a member variable called 'org' exists, then the compile fails because the compiler thinks that 'org' is a member variable and that 'apache cannot be resolved or is not a field'.
