Try GenericRecordBuilder.
For the Specific API, there are builders that will not let you construct an
object that can not be serialized.
The Generic API should have the same thing, but I am not 100% sure the
builder there covers it.
I have always avoided using any API that allows me to create an
I'm working on migrating an internally developed serialization format to
Avro. In the process, there have been many cases where I made a mistake
migrating the schema (I've automated it), and then avro cries that a record
I'm trying to serialize doesn't match the schema. Generally, the error it
I think this would be tremendously useful.
I am working - in my copious spare time - on improving schema validation in
the Python library, and I think I can see how to improve things there by
extending the data/schema parallel recursion to keep track of position in
each.

Hi Jonathan,
The python implementation is definitely less mature than the Java one. As
you run into things, please do file bugs (and, better, yet, fixes!).
At one point someone on this list was working on an alternative python
implementation that generated python objects to represent the Avro
Ok, cool. I've been using the python implementation pretty heavily and
didn't realize that it was less mature. Will definitely work on maturing it
where possible :)

AVRO-1284 [0] has the first patch in improving the schema validation so
that schema polymorphism handles validation. Philip and Jonathan, a review
would be nice. Upvotes would be nice too, but constructive feedback is
probably even better.
I think there's a further generalization that allows
