Re: uniontypes and Spark

Hi Owen, Just to clarify. So in my parser as I am mapping fields from Avro to ORC equivalent, any time I encounter a union type on the Avro side I map to struct type on the ORC side and the N-1 one out of the N fields is to rid of the null? Best, Ryan On Fri, Jul 31, 2020 at 10:52 AM Owen O'Malle

Ryan, I did just look at that code in Spark last week. The problem as you correctly surmised is that Spark doesn't have a uniontype. I think we probably need a fix that converts the uniontype into a struct for Spark. In such a translation, you would have fields for each variant of the union and
