Github user mallman commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/14690 @ericl That would be ideal, however the Hive metastore does not faithfully record column names with upper case characters. So if you save a parquet file with a column named `myCol` and define an external Hive table over it with a column named `myCol` Hive will not respect the case sensitive column name. When reading the schema from the metastore the column name will be `mycol` and Spark will fail to find that column from the parquet file.
