Hi guys. I'm having trouble declaring a record with an array of
records in Python.
Actually, this is a red herring. The problem is much simpler: I can't
have a record that contains an array as a field. Is this possible?
parse('{"name": "outer", "type": "record", "fields": [{"name": "a", "type": "array",
"items": "string"}]}')
array a False None None<avro.schema.Names object at 0x7f7f8acbb490>
