Description

otherwise:

```
Unknown datum class: class com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.IntNode
org.apache.avro.AvroRuntimeException: Unknown datum class: class com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.IntNode
at org.apache.avro.util.internal.JacksonUtils.toJson(JacksonUtils.java:96)
at org.apache.avro.util.internal.JacksonUtils.toJsonNode(JacksonUtils.java:53)
at org.apache.avro.Schema$Field.(Schema.java:591)
at com.linkedin.avroutil1.compatibility.avro110.FieldBuilder110.build(FieldBuilder110.java:109)
at com.linkedin.avroutil1.compatibility.AvroCompatibilityHelper.createSchemaField(AvroCompatibilityHelper.java:1012)
at com.linkedin.avroutil1.compatibility.AvroCompatibilityHelper.createSchemaField(AvroCompatibilityHelper.java:1016)
```

ideally we deserialize the json using the schema for the field

Research direction

Start with FieldBuilder110.build in FieldBuilder110.java and the createSchemaField entry points in AvroCompatibilityHelper.java, then trace the JacksonUtils failure shown in the report. Confirm how a JsonNode default is converted using the field schema; done means FieldBuilders accept these defaults without the reported Unknown datum class exception.
