---------------------------------
Summary: [Python] bytes field default values are incorrectly
encoded
Key: AVRO-3843
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3843
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.11.2, 1.12.0
Reporter: Steve Stagg
Record fields of type 'bytes' currently utf-8 encode (the call is to
'<string>'.encode() which defaults to using utf8) their default values, which
(as far as I can tell) is incorrect.
This means that if you have a bytes field with a default value of
"\u00ff\u00ff", then if the defaul is used during decoding, the value
b'\xc3\xbf\xc3\xbf' is returned, rather than the expected b'\xff\xff'
Avro < 1.11 appears to do the correct thing here.
