Takeshi Yamamuro commented on SPARK-21021:
------------------------------------------

This is an expected behaviour, so it is not a bug.
I feel okay to just reorder column by yourself in most cases.


> Reading partitioned parquet does not respect specified schema column order

>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: SQL

> When reading back a partitioned parquet folder, column order gets messed up.
> Consider the following example:
> {code}
> case class Event(f1: String, f2: String, f3: String)
> val df = Seq(Event("v1", "v2", "v3")).toDF
> df.write.partitionBy("f1", "f2").parquet("out")
> val schema: StructType = StructType(StructField("f1", StringType, true) :: 
> StructField("f2", StringType, true) :: StructField("f3", StringType, true) :: 
> Nil)
> val dfRead = spark.read.schema(schema).parquet("out")
> dfRead.show
> +---+---+---+
> | f3| f1| f2|
> +---+---+---+
> | v3| v1| v2|
> +---+---+---+
> dfRead.columns
> Array[String] = Array(f3, f1, f2)
> schema.fields
> Array(StructField(f1,StringType,true), StructField(f2,StringType,true), 
> StructField(f3,StringType,true))
> {code}
> This makes it really hard to have compatible schema when reading from 
> multiple sources.
