Contributed by Gabriel Reid.
> Lack of information on error in GenericData#getSchemaName
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-1465
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1465
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: java
> Reporter: Gabriel Reid
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: AVRO-1465.patch

>
> When the type of a datum cannot be determined in GenericData#getSchemaName,
> an AvroRuntimeException is thrown (correctly), and the message of the
> exception contains the string representation of the datum.
> In the odd case that the datum is something that totally doesn't belong
> there, and it's toString representation doesn't clearly show what it is, it's
> very difficult to determine what the actual type of the error datum is.
> Including the class name of the unresolvable datum would make debugging
> situations like this much easier.
