> Right now the exception that's thrown when a reader and written schema don't match (while reading a file), looks like this:
> {noformat}
> Found {"type":"record","name":"Test","fields":[{"name":"stringField","type":"string"},{"name":"longField","type":"long"}]}, expecting {"type":"record","name":"Test1","fields":[{"name":"stringField","type":"string"},{"name":"longField","type":"long"}]}
> {noformat}
> While this is perfectly okay for small schema with a few fields, it gets hard to debug for complex and large ones.
> The attached patch changes the exception message to look like:
> {noformat}
> Found {
>   "type" : "record",
>   "name" : "Test",
>   "fields" : [ {
>     "name" : "stringField",
>     "type" : "string"
>   }, {
>     "name" : "longField",
>     "type" : "long"
>   } ]
> }, expecting {
>   "type" : "record",
>   "name" : "Test1",
>   "fields" : [ {
>     "name" : "stringField",
>     "type" : "string"
>   }, {
>     "name" : "longField",
>     "type" : "long"
>   } ]
> }
> {noformat}
> P.s. Ideally a diff-like message would help too, but its mileage may vary. I guess with the pretty output printed, a user may easily do a diff (since they now have newlines), so us providing this is not _really_ needed.
