> The spec is silent on how to encode default values for "fixed" type in schema. The code in GenericDatumReader suggests that that it should be encoded as a JSON string with Java's platform default charset. A more appropriate way is to encode "fixed" in the same way as binary, that is a string with ISO-8859-1.
> I'll submit a patch for this soon.
