[~yhuai] any thoughts on this?
> ALTER TABLE cannot find column
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-9762
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-9762
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.4.1
> Environment: Ubuntu on AWS
> Reporter: Simeon Simeonov
>
> {{ALTER TABLE tbl CHANGE}} cannot find a column that {{DESCRIBE COLUMN}} lists.
> In the case of a table generated with {{HiveContext.read.json()}}, the output of {{DESCRIBE dimension_components}} is:
> {code}
> comp_config struct<adText:string,adTextLeft:string,background:string,brand:string,button_color:string,cta_side:string,cta_type:string,depth:string,fixed_under:string,light:string,mid_text:string,oneline:string,overhang:string,shine:string,style:string,style_secondary:string,style_small:string,type:string>
> comp_criteria string
> comp_data_model string
> comp_dimensions struct<data:string,integrations:array<string>,template:string,variation:bigint>
> comp_disabled boolean
> comp_id bigint
> comp_path string
> comp_placementData struct<mod:string>
> comp_slot_types array<string>
> {code}
> However, {{alter table dimension_components change comp_dimensions comp_dimensions struct<data:string,integrations:array<string>,template:string,variation:bigint,z:string>;}} fails with:
> {code}

> Meanwhile, {{SHOW COLUMNS in dimension_components}} lists two columns: {{col}} (which does not exist in the table) and {{z}}, which was just added.
> This suggests that DDL operations in Spark SQL use table metadata inconsistently.
