Description

I made the following change to the unittest.cc, adding a two dimensional array to the buildSchema() test:

ArraySchema array = ArraySchema(DoubleSchema());
const std::string s("myarray");
record.addField(s, array);

ArraySchema array2 = ArraySchema(ArraySchema(DoubleSchema()));
const std::string s2("my2dimarray");
record.addField(s2, array2);

It creates the following JSON schema output:

{
    "name": "myarray",
    "type": {
        "type": "array",
        "items": "double"
    }
},
{
    "name": "my2dimarray",
    "type": {
        "type": "array",
        "items": "double"
    }
}

Even tough I would expect the following output for the two dimensional case:

{
    "name": "my2dimarray",
    "type": {
        "type": "array",
        "items": {
            "type": "array",
            "items": "double"
        }
    }
}
