> If you create a table in Spark sql but then you modify the table in hive to add a column, spark sql doesn't pick up the new column.
> Basic example:
> {code}
> t1 = spark.sql("select ip_address from mydb.test_table limit 1")
> t1.show()
> +------------+
> |  ip_address|
> +------------+
> |1.30.25.5|
> +------------+
> t1.write.saveAsTable('mydb.t1')
> In Hive:
> alter table mydb.t1 add columns (bcookie string)
> t1 = spark.table("mydb.t1")
> t1.show()
> +------------+
> |  ip_address|
> +------------+
> |1.30.25.5|
> +------------+
> {code}
> It looks like its because spark sql is picking up the schema from spark.sql.sources.schema.part.0 rather then from hive. 
> Interestingly enough it appears that if you create the table differently like:
> spark.sql("create table mydb.t1 select ip_address from mydb.test_table limit 1") 
> Run your alter table on mydb.t1
> val t1 = spark.table("mydb.t1")  
> Then it works properly.
> It looks like the difference is when it doesn't work spark.sql.sources.provider=parquet is set.
> Its doing this from createDataSourceTable where provider is parquet.
