Github user cloud-fan commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/16797 how about we add a new SQL command to refresh the table schema in metastore by inferring schema with data files? This is a compatibility issue and we should have provided a way for users to migrate, before the 2.1 release. I think this approach is much simpler than adding a flag. For tables created by hive, as hive is a case-insensitive system, will the parquet files have mixed-case schema?
