> I am currently using a JSON library that is encoding 0 for a double to "0"
> instead of "0.0", without the quotes. First, I feel that "0" is a perfectly
> valid value for 0 as a double. But, I tried to code around it by changing the
> "type" of the field to "["double", "int"]", without the quotes and it is
> giving me this error:
> Exception in thread "main" org.apache.avro.AvroTypeException: Expected
> start-union. Got VALUE_NUMBER_INT

> If I change it to just "int", then it works for a few records until it
> reaches a double.
