It turns out that the Python implementation takes the last path that
matches.
Agreed that it's deterministic within a language, but it might round-trip
inconsistently.
For example, suppose Java takes the first path that matches, and Python
takes the last path that matches. Then, if I 1.
I think the behavior when encoding that would be to produce the map. I
would expect that because I'm assuming Python uses the first path that
appears to match. When it's ambiguous which way an in-memory representation
maps to a schema, it's up to the implementation to choose.
Whatever python
Suppose a schema like this - a union of a map and a record:
[
{"type": "map", "values": "int"},
{"type": "record", "name": "Record", fields: [{"name": "field",
"type": "int"}]}
]
In Python, unserialized maps and records are both represented as
dictionaries. So, if an Avro Python library
