Work Description: martin-g commented on pull request #1379:
URL: https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/1379#issuecomment-951201488
> I finally tracked down the problem to the `decode` function and found the
way to fix my problem properly (that is, without breaking other tests) and I am
now providing an example test to demonstrate the problem.
Cool! I will take a look soon!

> Hello,
>
> When providing your own schema to `from_avro_datum`, the deserialization is
> not backward compatible with messages containing a previous schema even if
> the schemas are created to be backward compatible.
> This is due to the `decode_variable` function in `utils` returning
> `Error::ReadVariableIntegerBytes` when the reader object is smaller than
> expected when reading a message with previous schema version (which is indeed
> smaller) and trying to decode it with a backward compatible schema.
> I have fixed the issue locally with the following patch which I will submit
> as a PR
>
> ```
