hmit opened a new pull request, #3354: URL: https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/3354
## What is the purpose of the change This pull request improves deserialization of data when using default `SpecificData` instance. Why? Often times, `SpecificDatumReader` and `ReflectDatumReader` are configured using the default `SpecificData` instance. This leads to deserialization error when reading fields with union type and inner logical type (see test-case). Deserialization works correctly when using the custom `SpecificData` instance stored in the `MODEL$` field of the schema class that `extends SpecificRecord`. The custom `SpecificData` has the necessary conversions stored to handle fields with union and logical types. The issue has been reported multiple times, notably in [AVRO-3989](linked JIRA). ## Verifying this change This change added tests and can be verified as follows: - *The added test passes when the code is present but fails when the code is removed* ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?
