Description

Generating an avro schema from parquet may result in an error when using fixed length byte arrays.

For instance, if a parquet message type contains several repeated fixed types, the following error will be thrown:
org.apache.avro.SchemaParseException: Can't redefine: array
This happens because the conversion redifines the avro fixed type based on a non unique field name.
