Description
ParentValueContainer.getConversionContainer attempts to convert the value to (GenericData.Fixed) instead of the more broad (GenericFixed) class. GenericData.Fixed implements GenericFixed, and GenericFixed is the avro class that should be used instead of the more specific parquet-avro GenericData.Fixed.

Research direction
Start at ParentValueContainer.getConversionContainer and inspect how FIXED schema values are converted. Confirm the conversion accepts the broader GenericFixed type rather than only GenericData.Fixed, then verify that FIXED values are handled without the reported type mismatch.
