Kafka triggered function [Java] not deserializing Avro with an array structure

[krishna-kariya]

While using Kafka triggered function with Avro schema, if the Avro schema has an array structure, then Kafka event message is not mapped with schema fields correctly and array field are set as null.
Example Schema -

{
  "type": "record",
  "name": "pageviews",
  "namespace": "ksql",
  "fields": [
    {
      "name": "viewtime",
      "type": "long"
    },
    {
      "name": "pages",
        "type": {
            "type": "array",
            "items": {
            "type": "record",
            "name": "nestedPage",
            "fields": [
                {
                "name": "name",
                "type": "int"
                }
            ]
            }
        }   
    }
  ]
}

With above schema, the trigger processes the message with nestedPage as null. This looks like an issue related to Avro Deserialization.
