    Description

      The following code snippet in the Schema class shows that we explicitly treat Avro FLOAT and DOUBLE as a Java Double.

      JsonNode defaultValue = field.get("default");
if (defaultValue != null
    && (Type.FLOAT.equals(fieldSchema.getType())
        || Type.DOUBLE.equals(fieldSchema.getType()))
    && defaultValue.isTextual())
  defaultValue =
    new DoubleNode(Double.valueOf(defaultValue.getTextValue()));

      Jackson has support for FloatNode so why don't we use that?

      This is a problem when someone calls Schema.Field#defaultVal for an Avro field with Avro type FLOAT and they try to typecast the object to a Java float.
