    Description

      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

       if(AvroSerdeUtils.isNullableType(recordSchema)) {
            return deserializeNullableUnion(datum, fileSchema, recordSchema, columnType);
          }
      

      In the above code snippet, recordSchema is verified if it is nullable. But the file schema is not checked.

      I tested with these values:

      recordSchema= ["null","string"]
      fielSchema= "string"
      

      And i got the following exception <line numbers might not be the same due to mu debugged code version>.
