Resolution: Duplicate
> union reading does not use first matching member
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-2707
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2707
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Roger
> Priority: Major
>
> [Here|https://gist.github.com/rogpeppe/5faf971eec51f3dbd316bb71d6d5dccc] is a JSON representation of a test case that produces unexpected behaviour under the Java Avro implementation.
> The test verifies that the JSON data in inData with encoding inSchema produces outData when read as outSchema.
> The specification says: "The first schema in the reader's union that matches the selected writer's union schema" which to me says that the output should be a long, because long is before int in the reader's union and long matches int.
> To reproduce on the command line, you'll need a version of avro-tools with [this PR applied|https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/785], then run:
> echo '{"F":{"int":999}}' |
> avro fromjson --schema '{"name":"R","type":"record","fields":[{"name":"F","type":["int","string"],"default":1234}]}' - |
> avro tojson --reader-schema '{"name":"R","type":"record","fields":[{"name":"F","type":["long","int","string"],"default":1234}]}' -
> This prints:
> {"F":{"int":999}}
> but I'd expect to see this:
> {"F":{"long":999}}
