Avro schema for Json array

Question

Suppose I have following json:

[
   {"id":1,"text":"some text","user_id":1},
   {"id":1,"text":"some text","user_id":2},
   ...
]

What would be an appropriate avro schema for this array of objects?

Concerning your question, correct schema is

{
  "name": "Name",
  "type": "array",
  "namespace": "com.hi.avro.model",
  "items": {
    "name": "NameDetails",
    "type": "record",
    "fields": [
      {
        "name": "id",
        "type": "int"
      },
      {
        "name": "text",
        "type": "string"
      },
      {
        "name": "user_id",
        "type": "int"
      }
    ]
  }
}
