> From the Avro specification re default values (and hence JSON encoding in general):
>  
> |field default values|
> ||avro type||json type||example||
> |null|null|null|
> |boolean|boolean|true|
> |int,long|integer|1|
> |float,double|number|1.1|
> |bytes|string|"\u00FF"|
> |string|string|"foo"|
> |record|object|{"a": 1}|
> |enum|string|"FOO"|
> |array|array|[1]|
> |map|object|{"a": 1}|
> |fixed|string|"\u00ff"|
>  
> Note that float and double have a "json type" of number (while int, long have a "json type" of integer. In JSON an integer is a number that is constrained to be an integer. There is no way to deduce from a JSON value that has no fractional part whether that value is a number or an integer - it is either/both.
> I believe that the following schema is, on that basis, valid:
> "{ \"name\":\"test\", \"type\": \"record\", \"fields\": [
> {\"name\": \"double\",\"type\": \"double\",\"default\" : 2 }
> ]}",
>  We have a substantial body of similar schema in use but have not attempted to use C++ to resolve them before - and now this is failing.
>  Fix is reasonably straight forward - PR with tests:
> [https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/326]
