Sam Pullara commented on AVRO-583:
----------------------------------
The problem I have with those error messages is that "map" is the name of a
defined type. It just happens to be a special case. My deeper question is why
this doesn't work? Is there a real problem naming and defining a map/array
without nesting?
> Bad error message if you try and name an array or a map:
> org.apache.avro.SchemaParseException: Undefined name: "map"
