Description

Avro logical types such as decimal and date are stored with its underlying type, for example, a logical 'decimal' is stored with bytes, while a logical 'date' with int.

Currently, those logical values are displayed with its underlying type and value. It can be more user friendly if we can display it as logically converted human readable values.
