-----------------------------------

             Summary: Clear all fields / Reset all fields to default value on Record template
                 Key: AVRO-1634
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1634
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: java
            Reporter: Maulik Gandhi
            Priority: Minor


As a developer, 
it would be nice to have a feature, API which will expose the functionality of clearing all fields on Record or set them to default value if the attribute has default value, so that the consumers do not have to write custom methods for the use case described before.

Also when a Builder pattern is used for creating Objects from Record, builders can be re-used, thus reducing heap memory usage.
