This is probably more of a question for the user support list, but I
believe I understand the issue.

Schema inside of spark refers to the structure of the output rows, for
example the schema for a particular dataframe could be
(User: Int, Password: String) - Two Columns the first is User of type int
and the second is Password of Type String.

When you pass the schema from one reader to another, you are only
copyting this structure, not all of the other options associated with the
dataframe.
This is usually useful when you are reading from sources with different
options but data that needs to be read into the same structure.

The other properties such as "format" and "options" exist independently of
Schema. This is helpful if I was reading from both MySQL and
a comma separated file for example. While the Schema is the same, the
options like ("inferSchema") do not apply to both MySql and CSV and
format actually picks whether to us "JDBC" or "CSV" so copying that
wouldn't be helpful either.

I hope this clears things up,
Russ
