             Summary: [Python] schema validation and filters
                 Key: ARROW-4076
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-4076
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Python
            Reporter: George Sakkis


Currently [schema validation|https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/758bd557584107cb336cbc3422744dacd93978af/python/pyarrow/parquet.py#L900] of {{ParquetDataset}} takes place before filtering. This may raise a {{ValueError}}if the schema is different in some dataset pieces, even if these pieces would be subsequently filtered out. I think validation should happen after filtering to prevent such spurious errors:
