Github user yhuai commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/1439#issuecomment-49341477 @chenghao-intel explained the root cause in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2523. Basically, we should use partition-specific `ObjectInspectors` to extract fields instead of using the `ObjectInspectors` set in the `TableDesc`. If partitions of a table are using different SerDe, their `ObjectInspector`s will be different. @chenghao-intel can you add unit tests? Is there any Hive query test that can be included?
