German I. Ramirez-Espinoza commented on ARROW-8641:
---------------------------------------------------
A way to solve this issue is to relax the requirement that the schemas are
exactly equal in here:
[https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/table.cc#L497]
and instead require the schema to be a subset of the batches' schema. Checking
for a subset includes the case of equality. This approach would also avoid
column reordering.
I drafted this idea here:
[https://github.com/gramirezespinoza/arrow/blob/ARROW-8641/cpp/src/arrow/type.cc#L1055]
and confirmed it solves this issue. The {{Table::FromRecordBatches}} would look
like:
[https://github.com/gramirezespinoza/arrow/blob/ARROW-8641/cpp/src/arrow/table.cc#L489]
If you find this approach viable, I'd be happy to create a PR.

> A quite annoying regression (original report from

> {{columns}} to read, this now fails if the order of the columns is not
> exactly the same as in the file:
> {code:python}
> In [27]: table = pa.table([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]], names=['a', 'b',
> 'c'])
> In [29]: from pyarrow import feather
> In [30]: feather.write_feather(table, "test.feather")
> # this works fine
> In [32]: feather.read_table("test.feather", columns=['a', 'b'])
>
>
> Out[32]:
> pyarrow.Table
> a: int64
> b: int64
