Description

I'm trying to generate a Avro schema from a parquet file. I get the issue both when using https://github.com/benwatson528/intellij-avro-parquet-plugin in Intellij as well as when I'm using my own implementation of generating a schema.

The parquet file contains nested entries and arrays: {"a": a, "b": [

{"c": c}

]}

I get the following error message:

org.apache.avro.SchemaParseException: Can't redefine: element

It appears to be an issue similar to PARQUET-1441 or PARQUET-1409.

Or could it possibly be something wrong in my parquet file?
