Avro field default values

Question

I am running into some issues setting up default values for Avro fields. I have a simple schema as given below:

data.avsc:

{
 \"name         


        

Answer 1

Its a bug at Avro's end which is marked as Not A Problem . You need to add default attribute to mention default value.

{"name": "xxx", "type": ["null", "boolean"], "default": null}

Please refer AVRO-1803.
