> Key: AVRO-1582
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1582
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Zoltan Farkas
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: AVRO-1582-PATCH

>
> Currently serializing a nullable field of type union like:
> "type" : ["null","some type"]
> when serialized as JSON results in:
> "field":{"some type":"value"}
> when it could be:
> "field":"value"
> Also fields that equal the the default value can be omitted from the
> serialized data. This is possible because the reader will have the writer's
> schema and can infer the field values. This reduces the size of the json
> messages.
