Your last sentence answered it for me.
I was getting string instead of string / string per the spec.
Thanks

I think what you're seeing is the value type only, which may contain null and
is thus represented as an Avro union of null and string. The key type of an
Avro may is assumed to be string according to the specification.

I am trying to get to the key AND value data type for a java Map.
Given the orginal java converted to avro
private java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> testmap;
I am using the following in Java to decode.
// Print out the schema System.err.println("Map class type "
+f.schema().toString());
// Print out datatype for key / value for (Schema st :
f.schema().getValueType().getTypes()) System.err.println("ST is " +
st.getName());
With a result of:
Map class type
{"type":"map","values":["null",{"type":"string","avro.java.string":"String"}],"avro.java.string":"String","default":null}ST
is nullST is string
Should I not get both the orginal <string,string> ?? (From the above testmap)
Thanks in advance....
