> There's a performance penalty when reading flat [no nested fields] Avro
> tables. When reading the same flat dataset in Pig, it takes half the time.
> On profiling, a lot of time is spent in
> {{AvroDeserializer.deserializeSingleItemNullableUnion()}}. The bulk of the
> time is spent in GenericData.get().resolveUnion(), which calls
> GenericData.getSchemaName(Object datum), which does a lot of instanceof
> checks. This could be simplified with performance benefits. A approach is
> described in this patch which almost halves the runtime.
