Review comment:
       Nothing too magical; I can check for schemas of null with non-null: 
`schema.isUnion() && schema.getTypes().size() == 2 && 
schema.getTypes().get(0).isNullable() != schema.getTypes().get(1).isNullable()`
   
   And then swap the union if: `defaultValue != null && !defaultValue.isNull() 
&& schema.getTypes().get(0).isNullable()`
   
   However, I can also do this in the Schema.Field constructor.
   
   Or even combine it with `org.apache.avro.Schema#isValidDefault(Schema, 
JsonNode)` to select the first schema for which the default is valid, and place 
it as the first schema in the union.
   
   I've posted a poll to the dev mailinglist to choose between the options.
