[jira] [Updated] (SPARK-29721) Spark SQL reads unnecessary nested fields from Parquet after using explode

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-29721?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Kai Kang updated SPARK-29721:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
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
{quote}{{import spark.implicits._}}
val jsonStr = """{
 "items": [
 {
 "itemId": 1,
 "itemData": "a"
 },
 {
 "itemId": 1,
 "itemData": "b"
 }
 ]
}"""
 {{val df = spark.read.json(Seq(jsonStr).toDS)}}
 {{df.write.format("parquet").mode("overwrite").saveAsTable("persisted")}}
{quote}
Part 2: reading it back and explaining the queries
{quote}val read = spark.table("persisted")
 spark.conf.set("spark.sql.optimizer.nestedSchemaPruning.enabled", true)
 read.select($"items.itemId").explain(true) // pruned, only loading itemId

read.select(explode($"items.itemId")).explain(true) // not pruned, loading both itemId and itemData
{quote}
