ottomata commented on issue #21012: [SPARK-23890][SQL] Support CHANGE COLUMN to 
add nested fields to structs
URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/21012#issuecomment-526188890
 
 
   @cloud-fan oh cool!  Can you tell me how to do this then?  I just tried with 
Spark 2.4.3:
   
   ```sql
   CREATE TABLE otto.p1 (
       name string,
       val int,
       s struct<v1:string>
   ) STORED AS PARQUET;
   ```
   ```scala
   scala> spark.sql("alter table otto.p1 change column s s 
struct<v1:string,v2:string>")
   org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: ALTER TABLE CHANGE COLUMN is not 
supported for changing column 's' with type 
'StructType(StructField(v1,StringType,true))' to 's' with type 
'StructType(StructField(v1,StringType,true), StructField(v2,StringType,true))';
     at 
org.apache.spark.sql.execution.command.AlterTableChangeColumnCommand.run(ddl.scala:323)
   ...
   ```
