Thiruvalluvan M. G. updated AVRO-1172:
--------------------------------------

    Attachment: AVRO-1172-2.patch

A slightly better version which exploits recent patch for AVRO-1290 along with unit-tests.

> Short version: Looks like the C++ version of AVRO-1099.
> Long version: When a non-decimal double is read from a json file, the parser treats it as an long, not a double, and therefore throws an exception. 
> Two possible solutions: (1) The decoder should be able to convert longs to doubles or acknowledge that a long is a type of double. 
> (2) The encoder should always output a double with a decimal point.
> Example code is included below. Output is:
> (1.01, 2.13)
> terminate called after throwing an instance of 'avro::Exception'
>   what():  Incorrect token in the stream. Expected: Double, found Integer
> After running complex.json is: {"re":1,"im":2.13
