Bill Baird created AVRO-1362:
--------------------------------
Summary: Avro schema array cannot reference previously defined
record types
Key: AVRO-1362
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1362
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.7.4
Environment: Schema class - org.apache.avro:avro:1.7.4
Also confirmed in Avro 1.7.5 (RC)
Reporter: Bill Baird
The following schema compiles successfully in Avro(c#), but in
Avro(Java)returns a "Type not supported: Invoice" when parsing the
"ListOfInvoices" array. Problem appears to be in the parse method. {"items":
"Invoice"} does not properly parse to find the "Invoice" type.
{ "namespace": "SampleClasses",
"name": "Batch",
"type": "record",
"fields": [
{ "name": "Invoices", "type": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"name": "Invoice",
"type": "record",
"fields": [
{ "name": "Id", "type": "string" }
]
}
}
},
{ "name": "SingleInvoice", "type": "Invoice" }, //
This reference to "Invoice" works fine.
{ "name": "ListOfInvoices", "type": {
"type": "array", "items": { "type":
"Invoice" } // Fails - does not get previous definition of "Invoice"
}
}
]
}
