Description

This idea is to allow AVRO to load schemas with recursion described like this:

{"name": "User", "type": "record", "fields": [{"name": "current_status", "type": "Status"}]}
{"name": "Status", "type": "record", "fields": [{"name": "author", "type": "User"}]}

• Java : AVRO-530 is ready to checked (PR ready).
• Rust : Unit test show that it already works (May be better to add a unit test in a PR).

For others languages (C, C++, C#, Python ...);
