> This is a follow up for SPARK-4502. SPARK-4502 correctly addressed column pruning for nested structures. However, when explode() is called on a nested field, all columns for that nested structure is still fetched from data source.
> We are working on a project to create a parquet store for a big pre-joined table between two tables that has one-to-many relationship, and this is a blocking issue for us.
>  
> The following code illustrates the issue. 
> Part 1: loading some nested data
> {noformat}
> val jsonStr = """{
>  "items": [
>    {"itemId": 1, "itemData": "a"},
>    {"itemId": 2, "itemData": "b"}
>  ]
> }"""
> val df = spark.read.json(Seq(jsonStr).toDS)
> df.write.format("parquet").mode("overwrite").saveAsTable("persisted")
> {noformat}
>  
> Part 2: reading it back and explaining the queries
> {noformat}
> val read = spark.table("persisted")
> spark.conf.set("spark.sql.optimizer.nestedSchemaPruning.enabled", true)
> // pruned, only loading itemId
> // ReadSchema: struct<items:array<struct<itemId:bigint>>>
> read.select($"items.itemId").explain(true) 
> // not pruned, loading both itemId 
> // ReadSchema: struct<items:array<struct<itemData:string,itemId:bigint>>>
> read.select(explode($"items.itemId")).explain(true) and itemData
> {noformat}
