Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1274:
------------------------------------
Some nits:
- If a default value has a nested bytes then it will fail. For example, a
field whose type is a record with a field named 'a' of type bytes can have a
default value of {"a":"asdf"}, but GenericData.toString() won't generate this
correctly. I think this can just remain a "known issue" until we fix
GenericData.toString(), but we should probably add a comment noting that.
- Is SchemaParseException the right exception here? AvroRuntimeException or
perhaps some new exception like SchemaBuilderError or somesuch.
Other than that, this looks great! +1
