Nandor Kollar commented on AVRO-2107:
-------------------------------------
[~darshanmehta2] I think the problem is that the type of sampleArray in your
schema is [union|http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#Unions], with
only one brach. If you'd like store a union of different elements (like string
or a record type), then sampleArray in your JSON data should look like this:
{code}
"sampleArray": [
{
"a.b.sampleArrayRecord": {
"sampleArrayRecordString":
"KLMNO"
}
}
]
{code}
I guess your intention is not this though, you'd like to store just records of
a certain type in the array, and nothing else. In this case you shouldn't make
elements of the array union, simply drop "\[" and "]" near "items":
{code}
"name":"sampleArray",
"type":{
"type":"array",
"items":
{
"name":"sampleArrayRecord",
"type":"record",
"fields":[
{
"name":"sampleArrayRecordString",
"type":"string",
"doc":"Sample array record string",
"omdFieldSecurity":"internal",
"omdLogicalDataType":"string"
}
],
"doc":"Sample array record",
"omdFileSecurity":"internal",
"omdRepositoryTag":"1.4.0"
}
},
{code}
