------------------------------------

             Summary: Avro SerDe InstanceCache returns incorrect schema
                 Key: HIVE-11288
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11288
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Greg Phillips


To reproduce this error, take two fields in an avro schema document matching the following:
"type" :  { "type": "array", "items": [ "null",  { "type": "map", "values": [ "null", "string" ] } ]  }
"type" : { "type": "map", "values": [ "null" , { "type": "array", "items": [ "null" , "string"] } ] }
After creating two tables in hive with these schemas, the describe statement on each of them will only return the schema for the first one loaded.  This is due to a hashCode() collision in the InstanceCache.  

A patch will be included in this ticket shortly which removes the hashCode call from the InstanceCache's internal HashMap, and instead provides the entire schema object.
