Description

Background

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3773 is to fix the validation of decimal default

After it is fixed (or we skip it), we are going to decode it.

the default value is used when resolving schema resolution.

Expect

the decoded record should have default value in BigDecimal type, e.g.

{"sales" => BigDecimal("12.34"), "tax" => BigDecimal("0.000")} 

Actual

the decoded record have default value in string/bytes type

{"sales" => BigDecimal("12.34"), "tax" => "\u0000"}
