Description

HI,  

   I am new to Avro and trying to define a schema. Wondering if I am trying to default a value to null, should it be: 

   a. "default": null

   b. "default": "null"

   Does it matter what the data type is? like for int then the default will be "default": null, but when it's for a string then the default should be "default":"null"? or it doesn't matter? 

 

Thanks

KT
