Hi Folks,
I have the following small schema

{
  "name": "Host",
  "type": "record",
  "namespace": "org.apache.nutch.storage",
  "doc": "Host represents a store of webpages or other data which
resides on a server or other computer so that it can be accessed over
the Internet",
  "fields": [
    {
      "name": "metadata",
      "type": {
        "type": "map",
        "values": ["null","bytes"]
      },
      "doc": "A multivalued metadata container used for storing a wide
variety of host metadata such as structured web server characterists
etc",
      "default": {

      }
    },
    {
      "name": "outlinks",
      "type": {
        "type": "map",
        "values": ["null","string"]
      },
      "doc": "Hyperlinks which direct outside of the current host
domain these can used in a histogram style manner to generate host
statistics",
      "default": {

      }
    },
    {
      "name": "inlinks",
      "type": {
        "type": "map",
        "values": ["null","string"]
      },
      "doc": "Hyperlinks which link to pages within the current host
domain these can used in a histogram style manner to generate host
statistics",
      "default": {

      }
    }
  ]
}


When I use Avro 1.7.6 to parse it via an Ant task, I am getting the
following parse exception

     [java] Caused by: org.apache.avro.SchemaParseException: No protocol

The thing is that I do not wish this to be a Protocol as such, it is merely
a simple Schema. Can anyone help me out to debug this?
Thank you
Lewis
