Description

I have a simple schema as follows: 

{
  "type" : "record",
  "name" : "LogicalTypeDate",
  "namespace" : "com.zillow.avro",
  "fields" : [
      {
        "name" : "type",
        "type" : "string"
      }, {
        "name" : "modifiedDate",
        "type" : "int",
        "logicalType": "date"
      }
  ]
} 

 

I am reading it in java as follows:

org.apache.avro.Schema.Parser parser = new Schema.Parser();
Schema schema = parser.parse(this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(schemaFile));

 

When I look at the resultant Schema object, and look at the fields, I see "logicalType" is NULL for the "modifiedDate" field.

I would have expected the field to be set correctly.

 

Here is the image from the debugger window of my IntelliJ IDe
