> Consider below 2 schemas:
> *Schema 1*:
> {noformat}
> [
> {
> "type": "record",
> "name": "rec1",
> "fields": [
> {
> "name": "age",
> "type": "long"
> }
> ]
> },
> {
> "type": "record",
> "name": "rec2",
> "fields": [
> {
> "name": "username",
> "type": "string"
> }
> ]
> }
> ]
> {noformat}
> *Schema 2*:
> {noformat}
> [
> {
> "type": "record",
> "name": "rec1",
> "fields": [
> {
> "name": "age",
> "type": "long"
> },
> {
> "name": "address",
> "type": "string"
> }
> ]
> },
> {
> "type": "record",
> "name": "rec2",
> "fields": [
> {
> "name": "username",
> "type": "string"
> }
> ]
> }
> ]
> {noformat}
> The {{rec1}} field in these 2 unions are not compatible, because the
> {{address}} field of {{rec1}} in the second one is not nullable. However, if
> we check them with validate like below, validator doesn't return any error:
> {code}
> final SchemaValidator backwardValidator = new
> SchemaValidatorBuilder().canReadStrategy().validateLatest();
> final Schema schema1 = new Schema.Parser().parse(schema1Str);
> final Schema schema2 = new Schema.Parser().parse(schema2Str);
> backwardValidator.validate(schema2, Arrays.asList(schema1));
> {code}
