Hi Avro experts :)

I was searching for an answer in the group already and didn’t find something 
that I recognized as the answer to this so I apologize if i’m asking something 
that has been answered frequently.

Let’s say I had a Java library that would send out Avro data over the wire.  
However, the library would not own the Avro schemas nor know what the schemas 
were in advance.  The library only required that the schemas contain two 
specific fields that it would then set on the way out - like a string field and 
a timestamp.

What is the best way to model this for Avro?  In protobufs this is modeled with 
a base schema and “extensions” which third parties would use to include their 
specific fields.  Is there a way in Avro to get the same result?

Thanks and much appreciated!
Matan
