> The Avro changes in IMPALA-3905 introduced a correctness bug. You can hit it 
> organically if you have a large avro file where the 16 byte sync marker 
> straddles a block boundary. In that case the block after the sync marker may 
> not be scanned, resulting in a few records missing.
> It's possible to reproduce on our test data by tweaking max_scan_range_length 
> until you find a value where count(*) returns fewer results.
> {code}
> [localhost:21000] default> set max_scan_range_length=256k; select count(*) 
> from tpch_avro_snap.lineitem;
> MAX_SCAN_RANGE_LENGTH set to 256k
> Query: select count(*) from tpch_avro_snap.lineitem

> We do have test coverage in TestScanRangeLengths that exercise the code with 
> avro blocks straddling scan ranges. However, the necessary condition for this 
> bug is that the scan range includes a full avro block, followed by a sync 
> marker on the boundary with the next scan range. We need to add test coverage 
> for a larger range of values here - larger files and larger scan ranges.
