> The are two main problems with the generated build() method in specific
> record builders:
> * For non-primitive types, if there is no default value and the user does not
> set the value, build() will execute successfully without throwing an exception
> ** Instead, an AvroRuntimeException should be thrown with an exception
> message indicating the name of the required field that was not set
> * For primitive types, if there is no default value and the user does not set
> the value, an AvroRuntimeException is thrown with the 'cause' set to a
> NullPointerException, which is not very helpful
> ** The NPE comes from attempting to set the primitive field to the result of
> defaultValue(), which is null
