[HIVE-24238] ClassCastException in vectorized order-by query over avro table with uniontype column

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Minor
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: 3.1.0, 3.1.2
• Component/s: Avro, Vectorization
• Assignee: Unassigned

Description

Reproducer

create table avro_reproducer (key int, union_col uniontype <int, string>) stored as avro location '/tmp/avro_reproducer';
INSERT INTO TABLE avro_reproducer values (0, create_union(0, 123, 'not me')),  (1, create_union(1, -1, 'me, me, me!'));

--these queries are ok:
select count(*) from avro_reproducer;  
select * from avro_reproducer;  
--these queries are not ok
select * from avro_reproducer order by union_col; 
select * from avro_reproducer sort by key; 
select * from avro_reproducer order by 'does not have to be a column, really'; 

I have verified this reproducer on CDH703, HDP301.
It seems the issue is restricted to AVRO; this reproducer does not trigger failures against textfile tables, orc tables, and parquet tables.

Also, the issue is restricted to vectorized execution; it goes away if I set hive.vectorized.execution.enabled=false
