dhruve opened a new pull request #23735: [SPARK-26801][SQL] Read avro types 
other than record
URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/23735
 
 
   ## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
   Currently spark reads avro files of type records only as this is internally 
mapped to the SQL StructType. Any other avro type is currently not supported 
reading at the top level. Primitive and Non-record types are supported within a 
record but not on their own. This change fixes the issue by wrapping the 
incompatible types under a record so these can be successfully read. Note, the 
issue is while reading only, as during writing, spark writes these types 
wrapped in a record itself.
   
   ## How was this patch tested?
   Manually loaded avro primitive types and added unit tests.
