> PySpark loses metadata in DataFrame fields when selecting nested columns
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-34805
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-34805
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: PySpark
> Affects Versions: 3.0.1, 3.1.1
> Reporter: Mark Ressler
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: jsonMetadataTest.py, nested_columns_metadata.scala
>
>
> For a DataFrame schema with nested StructTypes, where metadata is set for fields in the schema, that metadata is lost when a DataFrame selects nested fields. For example, suppose
> {code:java}
> df.schema.fields[0].dataType.fields[0].metadata
> {code}
> returns a non-empty dictionary, then
> {code:java}
> df.select('Field0.SubField0').schema.fields[0].metadata{code}
> returns an empty dictionary, where "Field0" is the name of the first field in the DataFrame and "SubField0" is the name of the first nested field under "Field0".
