Hi younes,

The error you're encountering when trying to read an Avro file in MATLAB suggests that there's an issue with handling Avro Union types in your Avro schema. The MATLAB Avro API is throwing an exception because it's unable to create schema objects for the Union types defined in your Avro file's schema.

I recommend the following:

1. Check Avro Schema: Ensure that the Avro file's schema, especially Union types, is correctly defined and compatible with MATLAB's Avro API capabilities.
2. Ensure that you are using the latest version of the MATLAB Interface for Apache Avro.
3. Simplify Schema: If possible, simplify the Avro schema by modifying or reducing the complexity of Union types.
