Gary Malouf commented on SPARK-3851:
------------------------------------
This is the type of issue that can bite users long after they have chosen to
use the framework - I think it's often just assumed to be there. How was this
handled in Hive world without Spark?
> Support for reading parquet files with different but compatible schema

> Right now it is required that all of the parquet files have the same schema.
> It would be nice to support some safe subset of cases where the schemas of
> files is different. For example:
> - Adding and removing nullable columns.
> - Widening types (a column that is of both Int and Long type)
