Cheng Lian commented on SPARK-14918:
------------------------------------
Decided to leave this one as "not an issue" since the problem I hit in PR
#12222 can be fixed inside the PR itself. The fact that Scala immutable map
doesn't preserve order doesn't bring any negative effect anywhere else.
> ExternalCatalog.TablePartitionSpec doesn't preserve partition column order

> Key: SPARK-14918
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-14918
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Cheng Lian
> Assignee: Cheng Lian
>
> Equivalent entity of {{ExternalCatalog.TablePartitionSpec}} in Hive is a
> {{LinkedHashMap}} returned by {{Partition.getSpec()}}, which preserves
> partition column order.
> However, we are using a {{scala.immutable.Map}} to store the result, which no
> longer preserves the original order. What makes it worse, Scala specializes
> immutable maps with less than 5 elements. And these specialized versions do
> preserve order, thus hides this issue in test cases since we never use more
> than 4 partition columns.
