Yes, apparently so. I was getting a different parse error, and thought
this was disallowed.
Sorry for the noise.

Yes, you can declare types as they are encountered.

Is it possible to declare array item types inline? i.e., instead of this:
[
{
"type": "record",
"name": "SubRecord",
"fields" : [
{"name": "field1", "type": "int"},
{"name": "field2", "type": "int"}
]

"type": "record",

"fields" : [
{
"name": "SubRecords",
"type": {
"type": "array",
"items": "SubRecord"

}

}

Would it be possible to do something like this:
{
"type": "record",
"name": "TestRecord",
"fields" : [
{
"name": "SubRecords",
"type": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "record",
"name": "SubRecord",
"fields" : [
{"name": "field1", "type": "int"},
{"name": "field2", "type": "int"}
]
}
}
}
]
}
It's quite a bit more clunky to do the former.
Thanks,
