Hi,
Assume I have the following schema:
{
"name": "Foo",
"type":"record",
"fields":[ {"name": "Bar", "type":"string"} ]
}
Since a string can be null, will Avro (Java implementation) encapsulate Bar in
a union? (i.e. type of Bar field will be regarded as ["null", "string"]).
I am almost certain that it should not because it will lead to inconsistencies
with encoding/decoding but I want to make sure.
Another question, what happens when we want to deserialize a null string?
Best regards,
Youssef Hatem
