> Creating a GenericUnion with a NodePtr results in an object that causes errors when written. Specifically the index for the union type will be invalid. This will only be caught when reading the serialized record. 
> The issue is the consturctor:
> {code}
>    GenericUnion(const NodePtr& schema) :
>         GenericContainer(AVRO_UNION, schema), curBranch_(schema->leaves()) {
> {code}
> Setting curBranch_ to schema->leaves() will result in setting the value to an invalid index (one more than available. I believe the constructor in question should be changed to: 
> {code}
>   GenericContainer(AVRO_UNION, schema), curBranch_(0) {
> {code}
> This should ensure the union is set to the default branch.
