Yuchen Liu updated SPARK-48939:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
Recursive reference denotes the case that the type of a field can be defined 
before in the parent nodes. A simple example is:
{code:java}
{
  "type": "record",
  "name": "LongList",
  "fields" : [
    {"name": "value", "type": "long"},
    {"name": "next", "type": ["null", "LongList"]}
  ]
}
{code}
This is written in Avro Schema DSL and represents a linked list data structure. 
Spark currently will throw an error on this schema. Many users used schema like 
this, so we should support it.

We should support reading Avro message with recursive reference in schema.
