Hey folks,

How do we handle cases where the reader and writer record schemas have
different record names but their fields are in a is-a relationship with
slight differences in their fields.

For example:

{
    "type": "record",
    "name": "RecordA",
    "fields": [
        {"name": "a", "type": "string"},
        {"name": "b", "type": ["null", "long"]},
        {"name": "c", "type": {"type": "array", "items": "string"}}
    ]
}

{
    "type": "record",
    "name": "RecordB",
    "fields": [
        {"name": "a", "type": "string"}
    ]
}

In the above case, what's the best way to use RecordB for reading what was
written using RecordA?
