Description

We propose to move "codec", "schema", and "sync" into "avro.codec", "avro.schema", and "avro.sync", and furthermore reserve all avro.* names in the object container file specification.

(Discussion was started in the thread "Reserving more keywords in Avro Object Container Files?" on avro-dev.)
