AVRO-1754. C++ ValiditingDecoder handles null incorrectly
> C++ ValiditingDecoder handles null incorrectly
> ----------------------------------------------

> Key: AVRO-1754

>
> When decoding null, the ValidatingDecoder does not call the underlying
> 'decodeNull' method. The result is that the next field decoded causes an
> exception.
> For example, if this json
> {quote}
> \{"a":null,"b":"bar"}
> {quote}
> is decoded with this schema
> {quote}
> \{
> "name": "foo",
> "type": "record",
> "fields": [
> \{ "name": "a", "type": ["null", "string"] },
> \{ "name": "b", "type": "string" }
> ]
> }
> {quote}
> it throws an exception with the message "Invalid operation. Expected: String
> got Null". This happens when 'b' is being decoded. I'll attach a patch.
