>
> If query a non-exist column against a parquet file, DRILL currently raises
> ExecutionSetupException:
> SELECT NON_EXIT_COLUMN from cp.`tpch/nation.parquet`;
> This will cause problem, when we have multiple parquet files, and the first
> one does not have the column, while the rest of them have the column.
>
> It would be better to return NULL expression during execution stage, if the
> columns does not exist in the parquet file.
> Later on, if DRILL adds a new option to verify column existence before
> executing a query ( just like what a schema-based system will do), we could
> throw PlanException in planning phase, once the parquet footer information is
> available to planner.
