Kai Kang updated SPARK-29721: ----------------------------- Description: This is a follow up for SPARK-4502. SPARK-4502 correctly addressed column pruning for nested structures. However, when explode() is called on a nested field, all columns for that nested structure is still fetched from data source. We are working on a project to create a parquet store for a big pre-joined table between two tables that has one-to-many relationship, and this is a blocking issue for us. The following code illustrates the issue. Part 1: loading some nested data {noformat} val jsonStr = """{ "items": [ {"itemId": 1, "itemData": "a"}, {"itemId": 2, "itemData": "b"} ] }""" val df = spark.read.json(Seq(jsonStr).toDS) df.write.format("parquet").mode("overwrite").saveAsTable("persisted") {noformat} Part 2: reading it back and explaining the queries val read = spark.table("persisted") spark.conf.set("spark.sql.optimizer.nestedSchemaPruning.enabled", true) read.select($"items.itemId").explain(true) // pruned, only loading itemId read.select(explode($"items.itemId")).explain(true) // not pruned, loading both itemId and itemData was: This is a follow up for SPARK-4502.
