I wrote the following test, added it to TestSchema.java, and it passes.

Can you provide a self-contained test that fails?

Thanks,

Doug

  @Test
  public void testMapInRecord2() throws Exception {
    String xJson = "{\"type\":\"record\", \"name\":\"X\", \"fields\":"
      +"[{\"name\":\"g\", \"type\":\"long\"}]}";
    String json = "{\"type\":\"record\", \"name\":\"Test\", \"fields\":"
      +"[{\"name\":\"f\", \"type\": {\"type\":\"map\", \"values\":"
      + xJson
      +"}}]}";
    Schema schema = Schema.parse(json);
    Schema xSchema = Schema.parse(xJson);

    GenericData.Record x = new GenericData.Record(xSchema);
    x.put("g", 11L);
    HashMap<Utf8,GenericData.Record> map=new HashMap<Utf8,GenericData.Record>();
    map.put(new Utf8("a"), x);
    GenericData.Record r = new GenericData.Record(schema);
    r.put("f", map);
    check(json, "{\"f\":{\"a\":{\"g\":11}}}", r, false);
  }
