Description

I've created two helper macros that can be used to extract or set the value of a record field using fewer function calls. So instead of

int  rc;
avro_datum_t  field;
char  *value;
rc = avro_record_get(record, "name", &field);
rc = avro_string_get(field, &value);

you can do:

int  rc;
char  *value;
avro_record_get_field_value(rc, record, string, "name", &value);
