It looks like there's a small issue in your Avro schema, specifically in the "results\_records" field. In the "items" field, you have mentioned "type": "array", "items": "string", "default": [], but it should be "items" : {"type" : "record", "name" : "SearchResult", "fields" : [...]} instead.

Here's the corrected version of your schema:

It looks like there's an issue with how the Avro schema is defined. Specifically, the error message "Error: Could not parse Avro schema" suggests that there's some issue with the schema itself.

Without knowing exactly which part of the schema is causing the error, it's hard to say for sure what the issue is. However, there are a few general tips you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check for any typos or syntax errors in your schema. Sometimes even a small error can cause Avro to fail to parse the schema.
2. Make sure that all of the field names and types are valid and well-formed. Avro is very strict about the format of field names, so make sure you're following the guidelines for naming and capitalization.
3. Finally, you might want to try validating the schema using a tool like the Avro IDL Compiler, which can check your schema for syntax errors and potential problems.

If you still have trouble after trying these steps, let me know and I can try to help you further.

The problem is in the timestamp field. It has a Type of "long" that is expected to be "timestamp-millis" according to the description.
To fix it:

Change the "timestamp-millis" to "timestamp" at the schema definition, inside the "event_time" object:

```
...
"fields": [
...
{
...
"name": "event_time",
"type": {
  "type": "long",
  "logicalType": "timestamp-millis"
}
...
]
```

to

```
...
"fields": [
...
{
...
"name": "event_time",
"type": {
  "type": "long"
}
...
]
```
