             Summary: AvroType operators can create nested unions
                 Key: CRUNCH-547
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CRUNCH-547
             Project: Crunch
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: IO
            Reporter: Adric Eckstein


When using avro reflection to create PTypes, the type might represent a union 
type, as specified by the @Union annotation.  Derived types from this, such as 
tableOf() and collections() will create a null union from this (already union) 
type and create a nested union which throws an AvroRuntimeException.

@org.apache.avro.reflect.Union({ Foo1.class, Foo2.class })
public static interface Foo {
        public String getFoo();
}
public static class Foo1 implements Foo {
        private final Double value = 1.0;
        @Override
        public String getFoo() {
                return value.toString();
        }
}
public static class Foo2 implements Foo {
        private final Integer value = 2;
        @Override
        public String getFoo() {
                return value.toString();
        }
}

Schema schema = ReflectData.get().getSchema(Foo.class);
AvroType<Foo> ptype = Avros.reflects(Foo.class, schema);

Avros.tableOf(Avros.strings(), ptype);
Avros.collections(ptype);

Exception in thread "main" org.apache.avro.AvroRuntimeException: Nested union: 
[["double","string"],"null"]
...

Seems like the methods Avros.allowNulls() and AvroTableType.nullable() both are 
calling Schema.createUnion(unionSchema, nullSchema), and could add an extra 
case statement to use the already existing union schema.
