zeruibao opened a new pull request, #41052: URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/41052
### What changes were proposed in this pull request? We introduce the SQLConf `spark.sql.legacy.avro.preventReadingIncorrectSameEncodedTypes` to prevent reading interval types as date or timestamp types to avoid getting corrupt dates as well as reading decimal types with incorrect precision. ### Why are the changes needed? We found the following issues with open source Avro: - Interval types can be read as date or timestamp types that would lead to wildly different results - Decimal types can be read with lower precision, that leads to data being read as `null` instead of suggesting that a wider decimal format should be provided ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change? No ### How was this patch tested? New unit test -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
