No way to raise errors in a Ruby IPC server such that they get returned as an avro error type
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AVRO-538
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-538
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ruby
    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
         Environment: Mac OS X
            Reporter: Rael Dornfest


Raising an AvroError or even a subclass thereof doesn't simply return a nice clean Error to the client despite errors being specified in the schema.

Instead, the client sees:

.../lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/avro-1.4.0.pre1/lib/avro/io.rb:46:in `byte!': undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
.../lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/avro-1.4.0.pre1/lib/avro/io.rb:63:in `read_long'
.../lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/avro-1.4.0.pre1/lib/avro/io.rb:379:in `read_union'
.../lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/avro-1.4.0.pre1/lib/avro/io.rb:315:in `read_data'
.../lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/avro-1.4.0.pre1/lib/avro/io.rb:281:in `read'
.../lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/avro-1.4.0.pre1/lib/avro/ipc.rb:224:in `read_error'
.../lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/avro-1.4.0.pre1/lib/avro/ipc.rb:213:in `read_call_response'
