Description

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2514 improved serialization error messages greatly by providing more information about the "location" of a piece of erroneous data in the object graph handed to a serializer.

 

however, a few more things can be improved:

• no info printed about which union branches were selected/used
• no info printed about array indexes or map keys
• (subjective) text could be made more concise.
