[jira] [Updated] (AVRO-2380) Logical types are not supported when the actual datatype is also present in Union

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2380?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Harshvardhan Agrawal updated AVRO-2380:
---------------------------------------
    Affects Version/s: 1.8.2
          Description: 
{code:java}
{
"name" : "data",
"type" : {
 "type" : "map",
 "values" : {
  "type" : "array",
  "items" : {
   "type" : "map",
   "values" : [ "string", "long", "null", "double", "float", "int", "boolean" ]
  }
 }
}{code}
The above schema represents a List<Map<String, Object>> where the values of the map could be any of the basic datatypes supported by Avro.

If we want the Map to support logical types such as timestamp for e.g.
{code:java}
{
"name" : "data",
"type" : {
 "type" : "map",
 "values" : {
  "type" : "array",
  "items" : {
   "type" : "map",
   "values" : [ "string", "long", "null", "double", "float", "int", "boolean",
                 { "type" : "long", "logicalType" : "timestamp-micros" }]
  }
 }
}{code}
The schema parser fails with the following error:

 
{code:java}
Exception in thread "main" org.apache.avro.AvroRuntimeException: Duplicate in union:long at org.apache.avro.Schema$UnionSchema.<init>(Schema.java:854)
at org.apache.avro.Schema.parse(Schema.java:1341)

{code}
