Doug Cutting updated AVRO-1198:
-------------------------------
Attachment: AVRO-1198.patch
The user didn't pass the negative length so IllegalArgumentException is not so
relevant. We ought to call attention to the fact that this indicates malformed
Avro data. Here's a version that throws an AvroRuntimeException with the
message, "Malformed data. Length is negative: XXX".
> Malformed Avro data may cause confusing ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

> I am currently debugging an issue where I am getting an
> ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException from the decoder while reading some Avro data.
> Turns out that the integer indicating number of bytes to read next is
> negative. It would be better if a more helpful error message were provided.
