> It mainly happens when 
> 1 )file schema and record schema are not same
> 2 ) Record schema is nullable  but file schema is not.
> The potential code location is at class AvroDeserialize
>  
> {noformat}
>  if(AvroSerdeUtils.isNullableType(recordSchema)) {
>       return deserializeNullableUnion(datum, fileSchema, recordSchema, columnType);
>     }
> {noformat}
> In the above code snippet, recordSchema is verified if it is nullable. But the file schema is not checked.
> I tested with these values:
> {noformat}
> recordSchema= ["null","string"]
> fielSchema= "string"
> {noformat}
> And i got the following exception <line numbers might not be the same due to mu debugged code version>.
> {noformat}
> org.apache.avro.AvroRuntimeException: Not a union: "string"
