Steven Aerts updated SPARK-35744:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
Creating this bug to let you know that when we tested out spark 3.2.0 we saw a 
significant performance degradation where our code was handling Avro Specific 
Record objects.  This slowed down some of our jobs with a factor 4.

Spark 3.2.0 upsteps the avro version from 1.8.2 to 1.10.2.

The degradation was caused by a change introduced in avro 1.9.0.  This change 
degrades performance when creating avro specific records in certain classloader 
topologies, like the ones used in spark.

We notified and [proposed|https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/1253] a simple 
fix upstream in the avro project.  (Links contain more details)

It is unclear for us how many other projects are using avro specific records in 
a spark context and will be impacted by this degradation.
 Feel free to close this issue if you think this issue is too much of a corner 
case.
