Description

Given this input record

{
    "numbers":[{"foo":1},"2",3,"ASD"]
}

and this Avro schema

{
  "name": "MyClass",
  "type": "record",
  "namespace": "com.acme.avro",
  "fields": [
    {
      "name": "numbers",
      "type": {
        "type": "array",
        "items": "int"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Expected Results

I would expect the record to fail validation even with strict type checking turned off. Because the content of the array cannot all be treated as an integer.

Actual Results

The record gets routed a flowfile on the success relationship.
