Description
On http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#binary_encode_primitive the example given for encoding Unions appears to have an error:
For example, the union schema ["null","string"] would encode:
null as zero (the index of "null" in the union):
00
the string "a" as one (the index of "string" in the union, encoded as hex 02), followed by the serialized string:
02 02 61
Surely the "string" in the union is encoded as hex 01... It is defined as "the zero-based position within the union of the schema". The list has only two entries, so 02 is not a valid index.
