             Summary: ALTER COLUMN to increase VARCHAR size fails
                 Key: SPARK-44437
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-44437
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 3.3.2
            Reporter: David Xiao


I tried to expand a VARCHAR column by running the following commands but ran 
into an error when doing so.

 
{code:java}
spark.sql("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS default.test_table")

spark.sql("CREATE TABLE default.test_table (test_col VARCHAR(10))")

spark.sql("ALTER TABLE default.test_table ALTER COLUMN test_col TYPE 
VARCHAR(25)") {code}
 

The error I get:

pyspark.sql.utils.AnalysisException: ALTER TABLE CHANGE COLUMN is not supported 
for changing column 'test_col' with type 'VarcharType(10)' to 'test_col' with 
type 'VarcharType(25)'
