Subhash Bhushan commented on AVRO-2720:
---------------------------------------
A few enhancements have gone in since this issue was reported, and the
exception thrown now is *{{avro.errors.AvroTypeException: The datum Bad is not
an example of the schema "int"}}*
It would probably be good to include the field name in the message. The
exception message can be: *{{avro.errors.AvroTypeException: The datum "Bad"
provided for "F" is not an example of the schema "int"}}*
Suggestions, [~kojiromike]?

> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: python
> Reporter: Chelsea Dole
> Priority: Critical
>
> Calling "Validate"/"write" raises an AvroTypeException when the input "datum"
> does not fit the input "expected_schema". It would be useful for users if
> AvroTypeException specified which fields were not valid representations of
> the expected_schema, by adding additional information to the string printed
> when the error is thrown.

> {code:java}
> writer_schema = schema.parse("""\
> {"type": "record", "name": "Test",
> "fields": [{"name": "F", "type": "int"},
> {"name": "E", "type": "int"}]}""")
> datum_to_write = {'E': 5, 'F': 'Bad'}
> datum_writer = avro_io.DatumWriter(writer_schema)
> datum_writer.write(datum, encoder)
> {code}

> The last line of the above example ^ will throw an AvroTypeException, because
> field "F" isn't an int. If there are multiple fields with incompatible types,
> the message will only show the first field. Once it is fixed, it will throw
> another AvroTypeException with the second incompatible type field, and so on.

> *Current AvroTypeException Output:*

> "name": "Test",

> *Suggested AvroTypeException Output:*

> {code:java}
> avro.io.AvroTypeException: Field 'F' with value 'Bad' has an unexpected type.
> The datum {'E': 5, 'F': 'Bad'} is not an example of the schema {
