The equals() method of `Flat3List` and `Flat4List` may invoke each other in an infinite loop.
See also https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18427
We found this problem when such lists are used as keys in `RelMetadataQuery.map`; occasionally there are hashcode collisions between `Flat3List` and `Flat4List`, hence their equals() methods will be invoked.
