Just a guess, but I would assume that the schema object only stores fields that it cares about. This would exclude your docs. If you want to know for sure, the source code is here: https://github.com/apache/avro/tree/trunk/lang/c%2B%2B

In general I don't see my doc which I have in Avro Schema getting shown when I print it out.
