> The behavior in these cases was debated when we were working on the spec. We ultimately decided to disallow writers from producing them, but I think it is a best practice to ensure that the read behavior is predictable, accepts even slightly malformed cases, and has consistent behavior depending on the projected columns. @rdblue I think it would be worthwhile to add wording to the spec which defines the consistent behavior desired for readers in these malformed cases rather than it becoming just a "de facto" standard based on convention. The wording can specify that while it's invalid for a writer to produce these that in those cases the spec defines what the reader behavior *should* be. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
