Description

The Merge Receivers assumes all the incoming batches have the same schemas. If the incoming batches happen to have different schemas, the run-time generated code for merge receiver would not be able to handle the different schemas, and could throw ClassCast Exception.

To fix it, we need canonicalize the schemas of incoming batches for merge receiver. If the schemas are still different after this step, Merge Receiver would throw exception.
