Shaeq Ahmed created AVRO-3678:
---------------------------------

             Summary: [Rust] Support write float value to field defined as double
                 Key: AVRO-3678
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3678
             Project: Apache Avro
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: rust
            Reporter: Shaeq Ahmed
            Assignee: Shaeq Ahmed
             Fix For: 1.12.0, 1.11.2


[https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/b8937526d32928b3b29040e862f7689d7230bddb/lang/rust/avro/src/types.rs#L405]

Currently a Avro value of the type float (32) cannot be resolved against a schema where the type is defined as double (64). We already support type widening from int -> long (dest. schema) as this is completely lossless, so I think we should also support the same for float -> double for consistency & convenience as this is a common use case.
