Insufficient validation in generated specific record builder implementations
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-1007
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1007
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.6.1
Reporter: James Baldassari
Assignee: James Baldassari
The are two main problems with the generated build() method in specific record
builders:
* For non-primitive types, if there is no default value and the user does not
set the value, build() will execute successfully without throwing an exception
** Instead, an AvroRuntimeException should be thrown with an exception message
indicating the name of the required field that was not set
* For primitive types, if there is no default value and the user does not set
the value, an AvroRuntimeException is thrown with the 'cause' set to a
NullPointerException, which is not very helpful
** The NPE comes from attempting to set the primitive field to the result of
defaultValue(), which is null
