Aman Sinha commented on DRILL-2002:
-----------------------------------
Agree that this should fail in some way - either during planning or during
execution. I think we should not allow doing a union all of regular column
with star column in drill due to the schema-less nature. During the planning
process, '*' is treated as a single column and doing a union with single column
passes validation. It should have failed during execution once '*' expands to
more than 1 column but the union-all operator does not do this type of check.
I will take a look ...

> I expected this to work in structured, but it seems that since planner has no
> idea about meta data, error message seems reasonable:
> {code}

> from `t1.json`;
> Query failed: Query failed: Failure validating SQL.

> Query below returns very confusing result. I expected it to error out like
