> Key: AVRO-3206
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3206
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.10.2
> Reporter: Gyula Komlossi
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Fix For: 1.11.0
>
> Time Spent: 40m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> In certain cases, when there is an error (like NPE, ClassCastException) in
> the "*writeField*" method of the "*SpecificDatumWriter*" class, the thrown
> exception doesn't contain the specific field causing the problem.
> Similarly as implemented in GenericDatumWriter, the same exceptions could be
> caught and their message improved by adding the related field name causing
> the problem.
> Currently, the message is like this:
> {code:java}
> java.lang.NullPointerException: null of string of
> org.apache.avro.test.TestRecord
> {code}
> But with the improvement it would be:
> {code:java}
> java.lang.NullPointerException: null of string in field 'name' of
> org.apache.avro.test.TestRecord
> {code}
