Hi guys. I'm having trouble declaring a record with an array of records
in Python.
Declaring an array of records works just fine:
print parse('{"name": "stuffs", "type": "array", "items": {"name": "whatever", "type": "record", "fields":
[{"name": "a", "type": "string"}]}}')
{"items": {"fields": [{"type": "string", "name": "a"}], "type": "record", "name": "whatever"},
"type": "array"}
But putting that as a field in a record gives me the following:
print parse('{"name": "outerrecord", "type": "record", "fields": [{"name": "stuffs", "type": "array", "items": {"name": "whatever",
"type": "record", "fields": [{"name": "a", "type": "string"}]}}]}')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in<module>

new_field = Field(type, name, has_default, default, order, names)

in __init__
raise SchemaParseException(fail_msg)
avro.schema.SchemaParseException: Type property "array" not a valid Avro
schema: Could not make an Avro Schema object from array.
Any help? Is this just a bug in the python implementation? Is my syntax
correct?
