Hi,
[i don't see my original post - but if you seen this already, I appologise
for re-post]
I am trying to define several objects in avsc files and compile the schema
using avro-1.4.1;
i have several questions;
1. Is it true that all objects MUST be defined in 1 huge file if I want to
reference previously defined ones?
(sounds a bit messy if you have dozens of objects to define, but ok);
2. I am having a problem defining a field of type enum (previously defined
in same avsc file), with error:
Exception in thread "main" org.apache.avro.SchemaParseException:
"KnownLetters" is not a defined name.
my avsc file contents:
{
"namespace": "def.al.pha.bet",
"type": "enum",
"name": "KnownLetters",
"doc": "Specifies known types of letters",
"symbols": ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E"],
"namespace": "def.note.pad",
"type": "record",
"name": "Page",
"doc": "Object definition of a Page composed of alphabet",
"fields": [
{"name": "letter", "type": "KnownLetters"}
]
}
How could this be achived? What am i missing?
3. I am observing strange namespace related behavior; to experiment, in the
above avsc definition I defined letter as "int" (just to keep going), and
found that only 1 of the two objects are being generated (the Page.java);
the enum is not generated at all, and i get no errors on the command line;
why is that?
my invocation is:
> java -jar ..\lib\avro-tools-1.4.1.jar compile schema ..\def\test.avsc ..\
Thanks;
