Eelco Hillenius commented on AVRO-104:
--------------------------------------
I'd be happy taking a stab at that. However, it seems that there is currently a
deeper problem... even when creating fields as unions of their type and nulls,
it doesn't work. It seems their values are always written out as nulls. As you
can see when you run the unit test with the last patch.
