             Summary: Parquet MR bug can lead to incorrect SQL results
                 Key: SPARK-23852
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-23852
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
            Reporter: Henry Robinson


Parquet 1.9.0 and 1.8.2 both have a bug, PARQUET-1217, that means that pushing 
certain predicates to Parquet scanners can return fewer results than they 
should. 

The bug triggers in Spark when:

* The Parquet file being scanner has stats for the null count, but not the max 
or min on the column with the predicate (Apache Impala writes files like this).
* The vectorized Parquet reader path is not taken, and the parquet-mr reader is 
used. 
* A suitable <, <=, > or >= predicate is pushed down to Parquet. 

The bug is that the parquet-mr interprets the max and min of a row-group's 
column as 0 in the absence of stats. So {{col > 0}} will filter all results, 
even if some are  > 0.

There is no upstream release of Parquet that contains the fix for PARQUET-1217, 
although a 1.10 release is planned.

The least impactful workaround is to set the Parquet configuration 
{{parquet.filter.stats.enabled}} to {{false}}.
