Sam Pullara commented on AVRO-583:
----------------------------------
Actually I was proposing you treat "map" and "array" just like "record". In the
same way "record" can have "fields", "map" can have "values" and "array" can
have "items". It isn't clear to me why they are treated differently.
> Bad error message if you try and name an array or a map:
> org.apache.avro.SchemaParseException: Undefined name: "map"
