Schema inheritance

[Software Dev]

Is there anyway to include the fields of another schema into our schema
WITHOUT it creating a nested record?


{
    "type": "record",
    "name": "Parent",
    "fields" : [
        {
            "name": "foo",
            "type": "string"
        }
    ]
}

{
    "type": "record",
    "name": "Child",
    "fields" : [
        {
            "name": "bar",
            "type": "string"
        },
// I dont want it nested like this
//        {
//            "name": "parent",
//            "type": "Parent"
//        }
    ]
}

So in this example is there a way to have child include both the "bar"
field as well as "foo" without it nested under parent?

Thanks
