I have an avro schema for my Kafka topic. In that schema it has defaults. I would like to exclude the defaulted columns from databricks and just let them default as an empty array.

Sample avro, trying to not provide the UserFields because I can't store an empty array in Delta (Parquet) in databricks and just let it default in as empty.

{
            "name": "UserFields",
			"type": {
					"type": "array",
					"items": {
							"name" : "ud_record",
							"type" : "record",
							"fields": [{
								"name": "userFieldName",
								"type":  "string"
								},{
								"name": "userFieldValue",
								"type": ["null", "string"]
							}]
						},
					},
			"default": []
		}
