Nandor Kollar created AVRO-2097: ----------------------------------- Summary: Improve documentation: emphasize that default values are interpreted in physical type and not in logical Key: AVRO-2097 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2097 Project: Avro Issue Type: Improvement Components: doc Affects Versions: 1.8.2 Reporter: Nandor Kollar Priority: Minor
Documentation is not clear how default values specified in the schema are interpreted. It is very easy to misunderstand, and think that setting a decimal filed's default value to "0.00" is interpreted as 0.00 decimal, but in fact it isn't! The default value is interpreted in the underlying *physical type*, and not in the logical type. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
