Posts collection

{
  "name":  "Posts",
  "fields": [
    {"name": "post_id", "type": "string"},
    {"name": "post_text", "type": "string"},
    {"name": "customer_id", "type": "string", "reference": "Customers.customer_id"}
  ]
}

Customers collection

{
  "name":  "Customers",
  "fields": [
    {"name": "customer_id", "type": "string"},
    {"name": "customer_name", "type": "string"}
  ] 
}
