Subject: Re: Avro Schema Question
{"type": "int"}, {"type": "string"} is not valid json, so you definitely can't
do that. But
[{"type": "int"}, {"type": "string"}] is a valid schema -- it can encode a
single value that is either an int or a string. At the highest level, your
schema can only be one type, but that type may be (and in fact probably will
be) a complex type -- a union of records or a single record.
Does that answer your question?

Hi,
I read the specification multiple times. In the specification, it says "A
Schema is represented in JSON<http://www.json.org/> by one of:" in the Schema
Declaration section. The "one" confuses me as I am interpreting it as exactly
one of the 3 that it listed.
In short, can I do this as a single schema?
{type : int},
{type : string},
{type : int},
Or do the following as a single schema?
{type : int},
{type : record ....},
{type : record ....}, // Not the same as the previous.
{type : string},
Or do I have to "embed" the above under a complex type like a record if I want
complex schema? Or does "one of" mean I have to choose one and exactly one for
the high top-most level of the schema?
Thanks!!
