--------------------------------
Summary: Better error information when new record field has no
default
Key: AVRO-1394
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1394
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: David Carr
Priority: Minor
Currently, if you add a field to a schema without a default, and attempt to
read a record with the new schema that was written with the old
(pre-field-creation) schema, you get an error like this:
org.apache.avro.AvroTypeException: Found mypackage.MyRecordType, expecting
mypackage.MyRecordType
This message is accurate, but doesn't help the user recognize the real problem:
there's a required field that isn't present in the written data. Please
enhance the error message to make it more informative.
