These rules are for the Avro schema.
The two values passed into this function must be valid Avro schemas.
The SchemaEqual function imposes a more strict set of rules than SchemaMatch. To be equal, one of the following must occur:
- Both schemas are arrays whose item types are equivalent (recursively determined if not primitive types).
- Both schemas are maps whose value types are equivalent (recursively determined if not primitive types).
- Both schemas are enums whose names or symbols match.
- Both schemas are fixed with sizes and names that match.
- Both schemas are records with the same name.
Fields of both records must be declared in the same order, have the same names, and the same data types (recursively determined if not primitive types).
- Both schemas are unions whose possible schema types are equivalent (recursively determined if not primitive types).
- Both schemas have the same primitive type.
A schema's "doc" fields are ignored for the purposes of schema equivalence evaluation.
