Ryan Skraba updated AVRO-3279:
------------------------------
    Issue Type: Improvement  (was: Bug)

> How many fields one can have in record?
> ---------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: AVRO-3279
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3279
>             Project: Apache Avro
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: spec
>            Reporter: Askar Safin
>            Priority: Major
>
> The specification doesn't say how many fields one can have in a record, i. e. what is minimal count of fields. I think minimal count should be zero, because many programming languages allow empty records.
>  
> In my homegrown Rust Avro lib I allow empty records, because they are perfectly compatible with Rust type system
