Hey guys, I'm trying to migrate an old schema into a new one.
The new schema has a new field, which is optional and defaults to null According to docs, this should work just fine: if the reader's record schema has a field that contains a default value, and writer's schema does not have a field with the same name, then the reader should use the default value from its field. http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#Schema+Resolution <http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#Schema+Resolution> Any ideas why does the test included in this PR fail with org.apache.avro.AvroTypeException: Expected field name not found: s at org.apache.avro.io.JsonDecoder.doAction(JsonDecoder.java:477) at org.apache.avro.io.parsing.Parser.advance(Parser.java:88) at org.apache.avro.io.JsonDecoder.advance(JsonDecoder.java:139) at org.apache.avro.io.JsonDecoder.readIndex(JsonDecoder.java:429) at org.apache.avro.io.ResolvingDecoder.doAction(ResolvingDecoder.java:290) at org.apache.avro.io.parsing.Parser.advance(Parser.java:88) at org.apache.avro.io.ResolvingDecoder.readIndex(ResolvingDecoder.java:267) at org.apache.avro.generic.GenericDatumReader.readWithoutConversion(GenericDatumReader.java:179) at org.apache.avro.generic.GenericDatumReader.read(GenericDatumReader.java:153) at org.apache.avro.generic.GenericDatumReader.readField(GenericDatumReader.java:232) at org.apache.avro.generic.GenericDatumReader.readRecord(GenericDatumReader.java:222) at org.apache.avro.generic.GenericDatumReader.readWithoutConversion(GenericDatumReader.java:175) at org.apache.avro.generic.GenericDatumReader.read(GenericDatumReader.java:153) at org.apache.avro.generic.GenericDatumReader.read(GenericDatumReader.java:145) at org.apache.avro.specific.TestSpecificFromJson.testSchemaEvolution(TestSpecificFromJson.java:56) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498) at org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod$1.runReflectiveCall(FrameworkMethod.java:47) at org.junit.internal.runners.model.ReflectiveCallable.run(ReflectiveCallable.java:12) at org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod.invokeExplosively(FrameworkMethod.java:44) at org.junit.internal.runners.statements.InvokeMethod.evaluate(InvokeMethod.java:17) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.runLeaf(ParentRunner.java:271) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:70) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:50) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$3.run(ParentRunner.java:238) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$1.schedule(ParentRunner.java:63) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.runChildren(ParentRunner.java:236) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.access$000(ParentRunner.java:53) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$2.evaluate(ParentRunner.java:229) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.run(ParentRunner.java:309) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit4.runner.JUnit4TestReference.run(JUnit4TestReference.java:86) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.TestExecution.run(TestExecution.java:38) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:459) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:678) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.run(RemoteTestRunner.java:382) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.main(RemoteTestRunner.java:192) I also created a pull request with sources that demonstrate the problem: https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/219#issue-222295055 <https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/219#issue-222295055> Thanks,
