Matt Burgess commented on NIFI-6090:
------------------------------------
This is a limitation of Avro schemas (see
[here|http://apache-avro.679487.n3.nabble.com/Duplicate-field-names-inside-nested-records-td4025085.html]
for more details) where you can't reuse the name in the schema. The NiFi
Record code seems to correctly generate a union of different record types that
"segments" could be, but when the Avro schema is created (for the
AvroRecordSetWriter), Avro complains. I believe you'd have to use a different
output format besides Avro (and don't write the schema to an attribute).

> I am trying to convert a JSON file to AVRO using ConvertRecord. I have a
> JSONTreeReader as the reader and the AvroRecordSetWriter as the writer. I am
> infering the schema on the reader. I'm getting the following error message
> in ConvertRecord:

> will route to failure: org.apache.avro.SchemaParseException: Can't redefine:
