Adding and reading array elements in Avro C#

[Harish Mandala <mv...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I have the following Avro schema file:

{
      "namespace": "myrec1",
      "name": "avroSchema1",
      "type": "record",
      "fields": [
        {"name": "NAME", "type": "string"},
        {"name": "ADDR", "type": "string"},
        {"name": "PHONE_NUMS", "type":{"type":"array","items":"string"}}
]
}

There's no error in parsing.

Now, in my C# program, I do:

GenericRecord r = new GenericRecord(avroSchema1); //avroSchema1 is a
RecordSchema object containing the schema defined above
r.Add("NAME", "xyz");
r.Add("ADDR", "abc");

I have two questions:

Q1) How do I add data to an array?

I tried
String[] arr1 = { "one", "two", "three"};
r.Add("PHONE_NUMS", arr2);

There's no error in writing.

Q2) How do I read back the array elements from a GenericRecord that I get
out of the Decoder?


Thanks in anticipation,
Harish
