I'm trying to see if I can use a single Avro schema file but still have multiple record & enum types re-used throughout different places in the schema.
Based on these answers https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21539113/can-i-split-an-apache-avro-schema-across-multiple-files and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29280635/avro-schema-definition-nesting-types the only two ways are: 1. Use a union as the root type, and define all your re-used types as members of the union. Unfortunately, this approach is not ideal as it allows any of those types to be serialized as the root object regardless of which types you want to be the root. Or, 2. Define a Protocol instead of a Schema, putting all your types into "types". This appears to have the same problem as #1. Is that right? Is there any other way? I'd rather only have to reference one schema file instead of multiple. Thanks, Shannon
