Juan,
OK, thanks. I was trying to understand what the intent was with that schema. So
to make sure that everyone
is on the same page:
If I use the following field in the schema:
"type": {"type": "array", "items": "int" }, "default": [ 0 ]
Then it works properly, giving us the default value of a 1-element array with
the value 0 as the only element.
But if I use:
"type": {"type": "array", "items": "int" }, "default": 0
Then currently it throws an Exception because the default value is not an
array. But what you expect to happen
is for this case to be treated the same as if the schema had said:
"type": {"type": "array", "items": "int" }, "default": []
So that if the field is not specified, you get an empty array for the value.
Is that accurate?
Thanks

Thanks Mike, agree but Avro does not complain and it allows using it. The
schema is used in production and I cannot change it for now.

That doesn't look like the right way to specify an empty array. This SO example
fits about what I'd expect:

So it should be default:[0]

Juan,
So the scenario that you laid out in the NIFI-4893 is not one that I've
personally
encountered. What does it mean exactly to have an Avro schema with an "array"
type
that has a value? In the example that you laid out, the field has:
"type": {"type": "array", "items": "int" }, "default": 0
In this case, what should be the value of this field if it's not specified? A
single-element array with the value of 0?

I would think that maybe it should set defaultValue to
new Integer[] {0};
But I am not certain of the semantics here.
Thanks

Hello team,
I could not fix the issue. I did a patch but it's solves the issue, but I
believe is not the correct solution. Anyone that knows Record Framework can
help me on that?
Thanks in advance,
Juan

Hello team,
I filed an issue at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4893. I
discovered using a complex Avro schema. I've isolated the issue and also did a
patch. At least, this solve the issue but actually I don't know well the
implications on that solution.
Please let me know what do you think. I have another issue related to Avro and
Record, I will file the issue tomorrow.
Thanks,
Juan
