Quarkus Avro extension cannot generate new Schema syntax Idl. #52882
Description
Describe the bug
The quarkus-avro extension does not support the named schema IDL syntax introduced in Avro 1.12.0. Files using this syntax fail to compile with a parser error.
Root cause
The quarkus-avro extension uses the deprecated Idl parser, which only supports the protocol syntax. Avro 1.12.0 introduced IdlReader (Deprecation notice) which supports both the traditional protocol syntax and the new named schema syntax (bare namespace + record without a protocol wrapper).
Suggestion
Consider switching from the deprecated Idl parser to IdlReader. Alternatively, it may be worth evaluating whether the quarkus-avro extension should delegate to the avro-maven-plugin for code generation rather than invoking the Avro compiler directly, which would automatically pick up new features and parser improvements from upstream Avro.

How to Reproduce?
Given this .avdl file in src/main/avro/:
namespace org.example;
record TestSchema {
string field;
}
The build fails with:
Quarkus code generation phase has failed: InvocationTargetException:
Failed to compile avro IDL file: .../TestSchema.avdl to Java:
Encountered " <IDENTIFIER> "namespace "" at line 1, column 1.
Was expecting one of:
"protocol" ...
"@" ...
The traditional protocol-wrapped syntax works fine:
@namespace("org.example")
protocol TestProtocol {
record TestSchema {
string field;
}
}
