We ran up against this issue recently, so I've created a standalone encoder
from Zoltan Farkas' excellent ExtendedJsonDecoder, until this issue is
resolved: https://github.com/Celos/avro-json-decoder
It handles point b) from above, infers the value of missing fields from their
defaults. The only advantage is that it doesn't require forked avro.

> Currently serializing a nullable field of type union like:
> "type" : ["null","some type"]
> when serialized as JSON results in:
> "field":{"some type":"value"}
> when it could be:
> "field":"value"
> Also fields that equal the the default value can be omitted from the
> serialized data. This is possible because the reader will have the writer's
> schema and can infer the field values. This reduces the size of the json
> messages.
