Hi,
It looks like you are invoking the Avro compiler for a schema instead of
for a protocol.
If you are running a command like this one:
$ java -jar path/to/avro-tools.jar compile schema path/to/idl.avpr
path/to/generated
Then you should try:
$ java -jar path/to/avro-tools.jar compile protocol path/to/idl.avpr
path/to/generated
