> The issue came up during an Impala test when we tried to run it with Hive
> 3.1. The a query hanged: it tried to insert 1 row from a Parquet file with a
> 99 level nested column to a similar Orc file, and spent its time in
> ArrayWritableObjectInspector.equals() according to jstack.
> The problem seems to be that equals() calls both fields.equals(that.fields)
> and fieldsByName.equals(that.fieldsByName), and both try to compare all
> nested fields recursively, which leads to the O(2^nesting_depth) complexity.
> The commit that introduced this behavior:
