-----------------------------------
This looks like a manifestation of
[AVRO-997|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-997]. I'll reopen the
discussion on that ticket.
> Avro SerDe can't handle Nullable Enums
> --------------------------------------

> Key: HIVE-3538
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3538
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug

>
> If a field has a schema that unions NULL with an enum, Avro fails to resolve
> the union because Avro SerDe doesn't restore "enumness".
> Since the enum datum is a String, avro internals check the union for a string
> schema, which is not present.
