Description

As I understand it, currently if you want to utilize defaults in a schema, ie:

{ "namespace": "com.chris.test", "type": "record", "name": "CHRISTEST", "doc": "Chris Test", "fields": [ {"name": "firstname", "type": "string", "default": "Chris"}

,

{"name": "lastname", "type": "string", "default": "Conner"}

,

{"name": "username", "type": "string", "default": "cconner"}

]
}

Then I have to use the builders to create my objects. IE:

public class ChrisAvroTest {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception

{ CHRISTEST person = CHRISTEST.newBuilder() .build(); System.out.println("person:" + person); }

}

Is my understanding correct? Is it possible to make it so the default constructor as well?
