如何在Avro架构中嵌套记录？

Question

我正在尝试让Python解析Avro架构,如下所示......

from avro import schema

mySchema = """
{
    "name": "person",
    "type": "record",
    "fields": [
        {"name": "firstname", "type": "string"},
        {"name": "lastname", "type": "string"},
        {
            "name": "address",
            "type": "record",
            "fields": [
                {"name": "streetaddress", "type": "string"},
                {"name": "city", "type": "string"}
            ]
        }
    ]
}"""

parsedSchema = schema.parse(mySchema)

......我得到以下异常:

avro.schema.SchemaParseException: Type property "record" not a valid Avro schema: Could not make an Avro Schema object from record.

我究竟做错了什么？

根据网络上的其他消息来源,我会重写你的第二个地址定义:

mySchema = """
{
    "name": "person",
    "type": "record",
    "fields": [
        {"name": "firstname", "type": "string"},
        {"name": "lastname", "type": "string"},
        {
            "name": "address",
            "type": {
                        "type" : "record",
                        "name" : "AddressUSRecord",
                        "fields" : [
                            {"name": "streetaddress", "type": "string"},
                            {"name": "city", "type": "string"}
                        ]
                    }
        }
    ]
}"""

Answer 2

每次我们将类型提供为命名类型时，都需要将字段指定为：

"name":"some_name",
"type": {
          "name":"CodeClassName",
           "type":"record/enum/array"
 } 

但是，如果命名的类型是并集，则我们不需要额外的类型字段，并且可以将其用作：

"name":"some_name",
"type": [{
          "name":"CodeClassName1",
           "type":"record",
           "fields": ...
          },
          {
           "name":"CodeClassName2",
            "type":"record",
            "fields": ...
}]

希望这进一步澄清！
