Avro error "org.apache.avro.AvroTypeException: Expected field name not found"

[Manish Mehndiratta]

Hi Team,

I stripped out my avro schema file and json file to only one element and
yet it continues to give me the same error.

Exception in thread "main" *org.apache.avro.AvroTypeException: Expected
field name not found*: TMS_ID

*--- avsc file ---*
{
  "type" : "record",
  "name" : "DataModel",
  "fields" : [
{ "name" : "TMS_ID", "type" : "string", "default" : "NONE" }
]
}

*--- json file ---*
{
    "DataModel" :{
"TMS_ID" : "asdf"
}
}

*--- avro validation query ---*
java -jar avro-tools-1.8.1.jar fromjson --schema-file TMSDataModelFlat.avsc
90573445988483.json > validated.avro

*--- error ---*
