Since 2.3.2, when `spark.sql.caseSensitive` is set to false, Spark does case insensitive column name resolution between Hive metastore schema and Parquet schema, so even column names are in different letter cases, Spark returns corresponding column values. An exception is thrown if there is ambiguity, i.e. more than one Parquet column is matched. --- End diff -- This is a behavior change. I am not sure whether we should backport it to 2.3.2. How about sending a note to the dev mailing list? BTW, this only affects data source table. How about hive serde table? Are they consistent? Could you add a test case? Create a table by the syntax like `CREATE TABLE ... STORED AS PARQUET`. You also need to turn off `spark.sql.hive.convertMetastoreParquet` in the test case.
