What is the correct way to create avro schema for object with array of strings?
I am trying to create avro schema to object that have array of strings according to official documenation? but I get error.
https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.1/spec.html
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.avro:avro-maven-plugin:1.8.2:schema (default) on project email: Execution default of goal org.apache.avro:avro-maven-plugin:1.8.2:schema failed: "array" is not a defined name. The type of the "parameters" field must be a defined name or a {"type": ...} expression. -> [Help 1]
Why my schema is inccorect?
[
{
"type": "record",
"namespace": "com.example",
"name": "Topic",
"fields": [
{ "name": "subject", "type": "string" },
{ "name": "parameters", "type": "array", "items": "string" }
]
}
]

Think this should work:
{
"name":"parameters",
"type": {
"type": "array",
"items": "string"
}
}
