             Summary: Improve documentation: emphasize that default values are interpreted in physical type and not in logical
                 Key: AVRO-2097
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2097
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: doc
    Affects Versions: 1.8.2
            Reporter: Nandor Kollar
            Priority: Minor


Documentation is not clear how default values specified in the schema are interpreted. It is very easy to misunderstand, and think that setting a decimal filed's default value to "0.00" is interpreted as 0.00 decimal, but in fact it isn't! The default value is interpreted in the underlying *physical type*, and not in the logical type.
