> In certain cases, when there is an error (like NPE, ClassCastException) in the "*writeField*" method of the "*SpecificDatumWriter*" class, the thrown exception doesn't contain the specific field causing the problem.
> Similarly as implemented in GenericDatumWriter, the same exceptions could be caught and their message improved by adding the related field name causing the problem.
> Currently, the message is like this:
> {code:java}
> java.lang.NullPointerException: null of string of org.apache.avro.test.TestRecord
> {code}
> But with the improvement it would be:
> {code:java}
> java.lang.NullPointerException: null of string in field name of org.apache.avro.test.TestRecord
> {code}
