Christophe Taton commented on AVRO-1385:
----------------------------------------
Hey Doug,
When you say we shouldn't silently discard information, what is your opinion on
the "promotion" of int to float, or long to float/double?
These promotions may cause data precision loss, since the 31 bits of an int do
not fit in the 23 bits of a float.
If these conversions are OK, should double also be allowed for promotion as
float?

> According to the specification, when a reader enum does not contain all
> symbols from the writer enum, an error should be signaled.
> ResolvingGrammarGenerator fails to report such errors.
> In particular, mkEnumAdjust() silently maps unknown symbols of the writers
> with symbols named "No match for [writer symbol]".

> Shouldn't this instead create an ErrorAction?
