What changes were proposed in this pull request?
CSV table containing char and varchar columns will result in the following error when selecting from the CSV table:
Why are the changes needed?
For char and varchar types, Spark will convert them to
StringType
inCharVarcharUtils.replaceCharVarcharWithStringInSchema
and record__CHAR_VARCHAR_TYPE_STRING
in the metadata.The reason for the above error is that the
StringType
columns in thedataSchema
andrequiredSchema
ofUnivocityParser
are not consistent. TheStringType
in thedataSchema
has metadata, while the metadata in therequiredSchema
is empty. We need to retain the metadata when resolving schema.Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No.
How was this patch tested?
Add a new test case in
CSVSuite
.Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?
No.
