When I define certain common Avro types in their own avsc files, and use them by fully qualified name in other Avro definitions (in other avsc files), I get this error:
throw new SchemaParseException(fieldTypeNode + " is not a defined name." + " The type of the "" + fieldName
+ "" field must be" + " a defined name or a {"type": ...} expression.");
I want to go the "defined name" way, but I am not clear how is this possible.
Apache Avro 1.7.3 seemingly introduced the possibility of import, but looking in its code, it does not populate imports, presumably leaving it to implementations like maven/gradle/sbt plugins.
I guess a way is like maven plugin does, allowing configuration of import paths to be done before the others.
Can I apply the FileSorter so that the avsc files are parsed in their dependency order? is this a configuration, or a call that i can code? how to hook in the lifecycle?

Another way is the one proposed in this https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1188 which is an explicit import at the site of the usage in another avsc.
