Alice Fan commented on HIVE-10187:
----------------------------------
Hi [~mwagner], you mentioned recursive is likely to not work with other
components of Hive. Do you have an example for it ? Is there other reason to
disable support of avro recursive schema except for infinite loop while running
describe?
> Avro backed tables don't handle cyclical or recursive records

> [HIVE-7653] changed the Avro SerDe to make it generate TypeInfos even for
> recursive/cyclical schemas. However, any attempt to serialize data which
> exploits that ability results in silently dropped fields.
