A union indicates that a field might have more than one data type. For example, a union might indicate that a field can be a string or a null. A union is represented as a JSON array containing the data types.
The Developer tool only interprets a union of ["primitive_type", "null"] or ["null", "primitive_type"]. The Parquet data type converts to the corresponding transformation data type. The Developer tool ignores the null.
