> Currently, if you add a field to a schema without a default, and attempt to
> read a record with the new schema that was written with the old
> (pre-field-creation) schema, you get an error like this:
> org.apache.avro.AvroTypeException: Found mypackage.MyRecordType, expecting
> mypackage.MyRecordType
> This message is accurate, but doesn't help the user recognize the real
> problem: there's a required field that isn't present in the written data.
> Please enhance the error message to make it more informative.
