Enumerate inconsistencies in records
------------------------------------

                 Key: AVRO-691
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-691
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ron Bodkin


If you try to read in an old schema that's inconsistent with a newer version, Avro's Java code will print found <old> expecting <new> but it doesn't tell you what field(s) in a record were inconsistent (e.g., had no default). It would be helpful to print more detail about incompatibilities found, ideally all of them. This is important for larger records where you might have lots of fields.

It would probably also be helpful to implement this as a separate schema debugging tool, if that were easier than adding that level of detail to the normal code reading path.
