Description

There appears to be a cut-and-paste error in the documentation for the "Fixed" type. The "namespace" and "aliases" fields probably shouldn't be there.

Text of the current online documentation (1.7.7):

https://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#Fixed

Fixed

Fixed uses the type name "fixed" and supports two attributes:

name: a string naming this fixed (required).
namespace, a string that qualifies the name;
aliases: a JSON array of strings, providing alternate names for this enum (optional).
size: an integer, specifying the number of bytes per value (required).

For example, 16-byte quantity may be declared with:

{"type": "fixed", "size": 16, "name": "md5"}
