shizhengchao commented on FLINK-19629:
--------------------------------------
Avro union(something, null) spelled incorrectly, should be Avro
unions(something, null), not union.
and i think, an example nullable types should be provided. So the complete
documentation should be like this:
In addition to the types listed above, Flink supports reading/writing nullable
types, e.g "behavior STRING NULL" . Flink maps nullable types to Avro
unions(something, null), where something is the Avro type converted from Flink
type.

> avro have no union type, should be unions:
