> {{OptimizeCsvJsonExprs}} prunes the schema of a {{JsonToStructs}} down to the single field being
> selected. When that field is the corrupt record column, the pruned schema leaves the parser nothing
> to convert, so a malformed value in a dropped-away field is never detected and the corrupt record
> column comes back NULL instead of the record text.
> This is reachable with default configs: the rule requires {{options.isEmpty}}, which is the
> PERMISSIVE default, and {{spark.sql.optimizer.enableJsonExpressionOptimization}} defaults to true.
> Reproduction, schema {{a int, b int, _corrupt_record string}}, input {{ {"a": 1, "b": "bad"} }}:
> {code:scala}
> val df = Seq("""{"a": 1, "b": "bad"}""").toDS()
>   .selectExpr("from_json(value, 'a int, b int, _corrupt_record string') as p")
>   .selectExpr("p._corrupt_record")
> {code}
> ||spark.sql.optimizer.enableJsonExpressionOptimization||result||
> |true|null|
> |false|{{ {"a": 1, "b": "bad"} }}|
> The optimized plan shows the schema pruned to the corrupt column alone:
> {noformat}
> Project [from_json(StructField(_corrupt_record,StringType,true), value#1, ...)._corrupt_record ...]
> {noformat}
> Two branches are affected, {{GetStructField}} and {{CreateNamedStruct}}. The CSV branch added by
> SPARK-32968 already guards with {{schema(ordinal).name != nameOfCorruptRecord}}; the JSON branches
> do not.
> {{GetArrayStructFields}} is not affected: an {{ArrayType}} schema takes {{JsonToStructsEvaluator}}'s
> {{case other =>}}, so {{corruptFieldIndex}} is {{None}} and corrupt-record semantics do not apply
> on that path.
> The existing SPARK-33907 test misses this because its bad record is structurally malformed
> ({{ {"a" 1, ...} }}), which fails at tokenization regardless of the requested schema. Exposing the
> defect needs a type mismatch on a field that pruning drops.
