> An AvroRuntimeException exception is thrown when attempting to read an Avro file serialized with an older version of a schema containing a field which has been subsequently removed in the newer schema.
> *Exception*
> {code}
> Exception in thread "main" org.apache.avro.AvroRuntimeException: Bad index

> *Steps to reproduce*
> #  Generate code for schema v1 and v2
> #  Write an Avro file with the v1 code-generated Record class using the DataFileWriter and SpecificDatumWriter
> #  (informational only) Read the Avro file using the v1 code-generated Record class using DataFileStream and SpecificDatumReader (output follows)
> {code}
> Record@2ec791b9[name=r1,id=1]
> Record@bd86fd3[name=r2,id=2]
> {code}
> #  Read the Avro file using the v2 code-generated Record class using DataFileStream and SpecificDatumReader
> *Schema details*
> v1 schema:
> {code}
> {"name": "Record", "type": "record",
>   "fields": [
>     {"name": "name", "type": "string"},
>     {"name": "id", "type": "int"}
>   ]
> }
> {code}
> v2 schema:
> {code}
> {"name": "Record", "type": "record",
>   "fields": [
>     {"name": "name", "type": "string"}
>   ]
> }
> {code}
> *Write code*
> {code}
>   public static Record createRecord(String name, int id) {
>     Record record = new Record();
>     record.name = name;
>     record.id = id;
>     return record;
>   }
>   public static void writeToAvro(OutputStream outputStream)
>       throws IOException {
>     DataFileWriter<Record> writer =
>         new DataFileWriter<Record>(new SpecificDatumWriter<Record>());
>     writer.create(Record.SCHEMA$, outputStream);
>     writer.append(createRecord("r1", 1));
>     writer.append(createRecord("r2", 2));
>     writer.close();
>     outputStream.close();
>   }
> {code}
> *Read code*
> {code}
>   public static void readFromAvro(InputStream is) throws IOException {
>     DataFileStream<Record> reader = new DataFileStream<Record>(
>             is, new SpecificDatumReader<Record>());
