Research direction

Start by reproducing schema validation with the long.timestamp-millis datum described in the issue, then trace the serializer's validation path to identify where the AvroTypeException originates. Done means this complex data type validates successfully without the exception, with a regression test covering the reported schema and datum.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

While validating the schema with the datum, long.timestamp-millis gives AvroTypeException.
