---------------------------------
Summary: Provide external way to construct Schema.Field with
default value of 'null'
Key: AVRO-2369
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2369
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Task
Components: java
Reporter: Ivan Greene
Fix For: 1.9.0
After making the Schema.Field constructor which takes the default value as a
JsonNode was made package private, there is no external way to construct a
field that has a default value of 'null'. Internally that constructor will call
{{JacksonUtils.toJsonNode(defaultValue)}}, which will return 'null' when passed
null, and the resulting Field will not have a default value (the json node
would need to be NullNode instead of simply null itself). This will affect
projects that need a way to dynamically build schemas and their fields.
