> Parquet schema evolution should make it possible to have partitions/tables 
>  backed by files with different schemas. Hive should match the table columns 
> with file columns based on the column name if possible.
> However if the serde for a table is missing columns from the serde of a 
> partition Hive fails to match the columns together.
> Steps to reproduce:
> {code}
> CREATE TABLE myparquettable_parted
> (
>   name string,
>   favnumber int,
>   favcolor string,
>   age int,
>   favpet string
> )
> PARTITIONED BY (day string)
> STORED AS PARQUET;
> INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE myparquettable_parted
> PARTITION(day='2017-04-04')
> SELECT
>    'mary' as name,
>    5 AS favnumber,
>    'blue' AS favcolor,
>    35 AS age,
>    'dog' AS favpet;
> alter table myparquettable_parted
> REPLACE COLUMNS
> (
> favnumber int,
> age int
> );   <!--- No cascade option, so the partition will not be altered. 
> {code}
> {{SELECT * FROM myparquettable_parted where day='2017-04-04';}}
> will fail with:
> {{java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Cannot inspect 
> org.apache.hadoop.io.IntWritable}}
> Hive should either match the columns together or prevent the user from 
> dropping columns from the table.
