Can I split an Apache Avro schema across multiple files?

Question

I can do,

{
    \"type\": \"record\",
    \"name\": \"Foo\",
    \"fields\": [
        {\"name\": \"bar\", \"type\": {
            \"type\": \"record\",
             


        

Answer 1

The order of imports in the pom.xml matters. You must import the subtypes first before processing the rest.

    ${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/avro/Bar.avro
    ${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/avro/Foo.avro

That would unblock the codegen from emitting undefined name: Bar.avro error.
