Description
Hi,
I have reworked/refactored our Avro based logging system trying to make the whole Drill + Avro->Parquet experience a bit more agreeable.
Long story short I'm getting this error when selecting form multiple Avro files even though these files share the EXCACT same schema:
Error: UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION ERROR: Hash aggregate does not support schema changes
Fragment 0:0
[Error Id: 00d49aa2-5564-497e-a330-e852d5889beb on swift:31010] (state=,code=0)
We are using union types but only to allow for null values as seems to be supported by drill as per this comment in the Drill code:
// currently supporting only nullable union (optional fields) like ["null", "some-type"].
This happens for a very simple group_by + count query that only uses two fields in Avro and neither one of them uses a Union construct so and both of them contain string values in every case.
I now think this has nothing to do with the union types since the query uses only simple string, unless there is a full schema validation done on the content of the files rather then the identical Avro schema embedded in both files.
