             Summary: Schema Evolution not working 
                 Key: AVRO-1661
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1661
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: java
    Affects Versions: 1.7.7, 1.7.6
         Environment: Ubuntu 14.10
            Reporter: Nicolas PHUNG
            Priority: Critical


This is the Avro Schema (OLD) I was using to write Avro binary data before:
{noformat}
{
    "namespace": "com.hello.world",
    "type": "record",
    "name": "Toto",
    "fields": 
        {
            "name": "a",
            "type": [
                "string",
                "null"
            ]
        },
        {
            "name": "b",
            "type": "string"
        }
    ]
}
{noformat}


This is the Avro Schema (NEW) I'm using to read the Avro binary data :
{noformat}
{
    "namespace": "com.hello.world",
    "type": "record",
    "name": "Toto",
    "fields": 
        {
            "name": "a",
            "type": [
                "string",
                "null"
            ]
        },
        {
            "name": "b",
            "type": "string"
        },
        {
            "name": "c",
            "type": "string",
            "default": "na"
        }
    ]
}
{noformat}

However, I can't read the old data with the new Schema. I've got the following 
errors :

{noformat}

>From my understanding, I should be able to read the old data with the new 
>schema that contains a new field with a default value. But it doesn't seem to 
>work. Am I doing something wrong ?
