Ryan King commented on AVRO-258:
--------------------------------

I like the general approach here, but am not a fan of the decorator-like syntax. That sort of syntax is necessary when you can't make backwards-incompatible changes to a language. We don't have that constraint here. I would do this:

<pre>
    string name ignore;
</pre>

> Early users of Avro have noted that authoring schemas and especially protocols in JSON feels unnatural. This JIRA is to work on a higher-level language that feels more like defining interfaces and classes in Java/C/etc.
