Alparslan Avcı commented on GORA-94:
------------------------------------
Thank you for your comment about patch [~renato2099] and sorry for the late
answer.
You've noticed a good point, but as [~martinkl] mentioned in this
(http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/avro-user/201401.mbox/%3CCAHNLEqv%2BmzCJJPR3Y53WHJg-%2BiOOPgj3%3DxBaM0%3D3NGeamuUjsw%40mail.gmail.com%3E)
thread, "In Avro, types are not nullable by default (unlike most programming
languages)." So, you have to specify if the field will be null by default.
Moreover, if a field's default value is not set and the builder pattern is used
to create a new object, an AvroRuntimeException like "Field .... type: ... pos:
.. not set and has no default value" will be thrown.
