-----------------------------------
{code}
+ if (AvroSerdeUtils.isNullableType(recordSchema)) {
+ Schema tmpFileSchema = fileSchema;
+ if (tmpFileSchema == null ||
!AvroSerdeUtils.isNullableType(tmpFileSchema)) {

}
{code}
If fileSchema is not null, but AvroSerdeUtils.isNullableType(tmpFileSchema)
returns false, then tmpFileSchema = null. So you pass null as fileSchema in
deserializeNullableUnion(datum, tmpFileSchema, recordSchema, columnType). This
doesn't seem right.

> It mainly happens when
> 1 )file schema and record schema are not same
> 2 ) Record schema is nullable but file schema is not.
> The potential code location is at class AvroDeserialize
>
> {noformat}
> if(AvroSerdeUtils.isNullableType(recordSchema)) {
> return deserializeNullableUnion(datum, fileSchema, recordSchema,
> columnType);
> }
> {noformat}
> In the above code snippet, recordSchema is verified if it is nullable. But
> the file schema is not checked.
> I tested with these values:
> {noformat}
> recordSchema= ["null","string"]
> fielSchema= "string"
> {noformat}
> And i got the following exception <line numbers might not be the same due to
> mu debugged code version>.
> {noformat}
