rahil-c opened a new pull request, #18775: URL: https://github.com/apache/hudi/pull/18775
Lance does not currently support VARIANT in its file format (https://lance.org/guide/data_types/#arrow-type-system). Without a guard, writes that include VARIANT-typed columns fail deep inside the Avro-to-Arrow conversion layer (LanceArrowUtils.toArrowSchema) with a cryptic error. Add a recursive Avro-schema walk in HoodieSparkLanceWriter that throws HoodieNotSupportedException up front with a user-friendly message naming the offending column path. Invoke it from HoodieSparkFileWriterFactory.newLanceFileWriter so every Lance write path (Spark DataSource, DeltaStreamer, bootstrap, async clustering, async compaction) is covered before any Arrow allocator is opened. Mirrors the existing VECTOR element-type guard in the same writer. ### Describe the issue this Pull Request addresses <!-- Either describe the issue inline here with motivation behind the changes (or) link to an issue by including `Closes #<issue-number>` for context.
