Enumerate inconsistencies in records
------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-691
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-691
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Ron Bodkin
If you try to read in an old schema that's inconsistent with a newer version,
Avro's Java code will print found <old> expecting <new> but it doesn't tell you
what field(s) in a record were inconsistent (e.g., had no default). It would be
helpful to print more detail about incompatibilities found, ideally all of
them. This is important for larger records where you might have lots of fields.
It would probably also be helpful to implement this as a separate schema
debugging tool, if that were easier than adding that level of detail to the
normal code reading path.
