>From code review >[AvroResolver.java|https://github.com/apache/incubator-hawq/blob/master/pxf/pxf-hdfs/src/main/java/com/pivotal/pxf/plugins/hdfs/AvroResolver.java], > we didn't specify null situation for complex types: - Array - Map - Record when using union type , which contains a nullable type(union) and use null as default - I think complex type with nullable type in value schema and with null as default is the problem. {code:json} ...
