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 gives doesn't help find the actual issue, and for a big enough record finding the issue can be tedious.
I've thought about making a tool which, given the schema and the record would tell you what the issue is, but I'm wondering if this already exists? I suppose the error message could also include this information... Thanks Jon
