Stuart Reynolds commented on SPARK-21392:
-----------------------------------------

Done.

I'm simply trying to build a table of two columns ("eid" and whatever the named 
response variable is), and save the table as a parquet file (with the same name 
are the second column), and load it back up.

Saving works but loading fails, complaining it can't infer the schema, even 
though I could print the schema before saving it:
{code:none}
   StructType(
           List(
                StructField(eid,IntegerType,true),
                StructField(response,ShortType,true)))
{code}

> Unable to infer schema when loading Parquet file

>    Affects Versions: 2.1.1

> The following boring code works
> {code:none}
>     response = "mi_or_chd_5"
>     outcome = sqlc.sql("""select eid,{response} as response
>         from outcomes

> But then,
> {code:none}
>     outcome2 = sqlc.read.parquet(response)  # fail
> {code}
> fails with:

>  in deco(*a, **kw)
> {code}
> The documentation for parquet says the format is self describing, and the 
> full schema was available when the parquet file was saved. What gives?
> Seems related to: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-16975, but 
> which claims it was fixed in 2.0.1, 2.1.0. (Current bug is 2.1.1)
