Ryan Johnson created SPARK-42683: ------------------------------------ Summary: Automatically rename metadata columns that conflict with data schema columns Key: SPARK-42683 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-42683 Project: Spark Issue Type: Improvement Components: Spark Core Affects Versions: 3.3.2, 3.4.0 Reporter: Ryan Johnson
Today, if a datasource already has a column called `_metadata`, queries cannot access the file-source metadata column that normally carries that name. We can address this conflict with two changes to metadata column handling: # Automatically rename any metadata column whose name conflicts with a data schema column # Add a facility to reliably find metadata columns by their original/logical name, even if they were renamed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
