Sean Owen resolved SPARK-26407.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
I don't think it's reasonable to add arbitrary other dirs under this directory.
> For an external non-partitioned table, if add a directory named with k=v to
> the table path, select result will be wrong

> Key: SPARK-26407
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-26407
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.4.0
> Reporter: Bao Yunz
> Priority: Major
> Labels: usability
>
> Scenario 1
> Create an external non-partitioned table, in which location directory has a
> directory named with "part=1" and its schema is (id, name), for example. And
> there is some data in the "part=1" directory. Then desc the table, we will
> find the "part" is added in table schema as table column. when insert into
> the table with two columns data, will throw a exception that target table
> has 3 columns but the inserted data has 2 columns.
> Scenario 2
> Create an external non-partitioned table, which location path is empty and
> its scema is (id, name), for example. After several times insert operation,
> we add a directory named with "part=1" in the table location directory. And
> there is some data in the "part=1" directory. Then do insert and select
> operation, we will find the scan path is changed to "tablePath/part=1"，so
> that we will get a wrong result.
> The right logic should be that if a table is a non-partitioned table, adding
> a partition-like folder under tablePath should not change its schema and
> select result.
