Description
This is the code as it currently stands in master:
```Java
@Override
protected Type union(Type toMerge, boolean strict) {
if (toMerge.isPrimitive()) {
throw new IncompatibleSchemaModificationException("can not merge primitive type " + toMerge + " into group type " + this);
}
return new GroupType(toMerge.getRepetition(), getName(), mergeFields(toMerge.asGroupType()));
}
```
Note the call to `mergeFields` omits the `strict` parameter. I believe the code should be:
```Java
@Override
protected Type union(Type toMerge, boolean strict) {
if (toMerge.isPrimitive()) {
throw new IncompatibleSchemaModificationException("can not merge primitive type " + toMerge + " into group type " + this);
}
return new GroupType(toMerge.getRepetition(), getName(), mergeFields(toMerge.asGroupType(), strict));
}
```
Note the call to `mergeFields` includes the `strict` parameter.
I would work on this myself, but I'm having considerable trouble working with the codebase (see e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31229445/build-failure-apache-parquet-mr-source-mvn-install-failure). Given the (assumed) simplicity of the fix, can a seasoned Parquet contributor take this up? Cheers.
