Daniel Orner commented on AVRO-2199:
------------------------------------
[~theturtle32] I definitely feel your pain. :( But the fact is that the current
implementation is incorrect - the fact that you have bad data out there is a
result of the incorrect implementation. In my case we had other Avro consumers
not written in Ruby whose parsers were stricter that were crashing because we
were sending bad data, so IMO it's more important to fix the behavior in Ruby
which doesn't match the Avro specification.
> Validate that field defaults have the correct type

> Key: AVRO-2199
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2199
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ruby
> Affects Versions: 1.8.2
> Reporter: Daniel Orner
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, on the master branch, when a schema is parsed, it is possible to
> define a field with a type and a default of a totally different type. E.g. if
> the field has type "string", the default can be set to "null".
> I'd like to open a PR which will fix this by running the default through the
> SchemaValidator whenever a new Field is created. See
> [https://github.com/salsify/avro-patches/pull/16]
