Description

The validate_internal function is not propagating schema's sub-namespaces resulting in validation error of valid values.

For example, it is not possible to set a value for the following schema even though it is a valid one.

The issue is that when Avro tries to validate the value for middle_field_2 it tries to resolve the reference inner_record_name using the top level namespace space.inner_record_name instead of middle_namespace.inner_record_name.

            "name": "record_name",
            "namespace": "space",
            "type": "record",
            "fields": [
              {
                "name": "outer_field_1",
                "type": {
                  "type": "record",

                    {
