Jacques Nadeau updated DRILL-1613:
----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 0.7.0
> Drill does not honor nested schema changes
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DRILL-1613
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-1613
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Hanifi Gunes
> Assignee: Mehant Baid
> Fix For: 0.7.0
>
>
> Drill's current definition of schema change is an incremental update to the
> top-level schema structure. This is inappropriate for complex data types
> where schema change may occur at any level in the hierarchy of vectors.
> Current design does not fit into this requirement neatly as only top-level
> containers are able to mutate the schema. We need a minor to major re-design
> to handle this situation.
> This issue exacerbates when querying partitions or batches of files that do
> not necessarily conform to the exact same schema. New fields from upcoming
> batches will be omitted in either case.
