Description

Unit test failure occurs if using Avro 1.8.1:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.avro:avro-maven-plugin:1.8.1:idl-protocol (schemas) ... 
org.apache.avro.compiler.idl.ParseException: Encountered " "date" "date "" at line 23, column 14.
[ERROR] Was expecting one of:
[ERROR] <IDENTIFIER> ...
[ERROR] "@" ...
[ERROR] "`" ...
[ERROR] -> [Help 1]

See AVRO-1924 about the background.
It is not clear whether it is solvable on Avro side or it is more a limitation from Avro 1.8.1. Therefore, I would suggest fixing the issue in the unit test side.
