Summary

Closes #3311.

  • Add Spark-compatible schema validation in the native schema adapter, gated behind new config spark.comet.parquet.schemaValidation.enabled (default: true)
  • When enabled, the native scan rejects type coercions that Spark's vectorized Parquet reader would reject (TimestampLTZ↔TimestampNTZ, integer/float widening without schema evolution, string→numeric, etc.)
  • Pass schema_evolution_enabled to native side via proto so integer/float widening is allowed when Comet's schema evolution config is enabled
  • Native exceptions with schema validation errors are wrapped in SparkException with compatible error messages
  • Fix fileNotFoundPattern regex in CometExecIterator that could never match after the "External: " prefix was stripped, restoring proper FileNotFoundException wrapping
  • Un-ignore 2 Spark SQL tests that now pass with native_datafusion

Tests un-ignored

  • ParquetIOSuite: "SPARK-35640: read binary as timestamp should throw schema incompatible error"
  • ParquetIOSuite: "SPARK-35640: int as long should throw schema incompatible error"

Tests ignored (known incompatibilities with native_datafusion)

  • ParquetQuerySuite: "SPARK-36182: can't read TimestampLTZ as TimestampNTZ" — INT96 timestamps don't carry timezone info in Parquet schema, so the native reader can't detect the LTZ→NTZ mismatch
  • ParquetFilterSuite: "SPARK-25207: exception when duplicate fields in case-insensitive mode" — exception wrapping differs (cause type is not RuntimeException)
  • SQLQuerySuite: "SPARK-26709: OptimizeMetadataOnlyQuery does not handle empty records correctly" — schema validation rejects INT32→INT64 coercion (correct for Spark 3.x without schema evolution)
  • ParquetSchemaSuite: "SPARK-45604" and "schema mismatch failure error message" — check for SchemaColumnConvertNotSupportedException
  • FileBasedDataSourceSuite: "caseSensitive" — checks for SparkRuntimeException with error class
  • ParquetQuerySuite: "SPARK-34212" — different decimal handling

Test plan

  • Rust native build passes
  • Rust unit tests pass (schema_adapter tests)
  • Clippy: no warnings
  • Spotless formatting passes
  • ParquetReadV1Suite — all tests pass (including schema evolution, type widening)
  • CI: Spark SQL tests with native_datafusion should pass for the 3 previously failing jobs

apache#3311)

Add schema validation in the native schema adapter that rejects type
coercions and column resolutions that Spark's vectorized Parquet reader
would reject, gated behind a new config
`spark.comet.parquet.schemaValidation.enabled` (default: true).

When enabled, the native scan rejects:
- TimestampLTZ <-> TimestampNTZ conversions
- Integer/float widening (Int32->Int64, Float32->Float64) unless
  schema evolution is enabled
- String/binary to timestamp or numeric conversions
- Scalar to complex type conversions
- Duplicate fields in case-insensitive mode

This allows 5 previously-ignored Spark SQL tests to pass with
native_datafusion enabled.

@andygrove andygrove force-pushed the fix/3311-schema-validation branch from 4137ff9 to e7db848 Compare February 6, 2026 00:50
andygrove and others added 9 commits February 5, 2026 21:20
INT96 timestamps (default for Spark LTZ) are coerced by arrow-rs to
Timestamp(Microsecond, None) without a timezone, but Spark's required
schema expects Timestamp(Microsecond, Some(tz)). The schema validation
was incorrectly rejecting this as a NTZ→LTZ mismatch. The downstream
parquet_convert_array already handles this correctly by reattaching the
session timezone.

Regenerate the Spark test diff from the patched source to include
ignore annotations that were applied locally but not captured in the
diff file. Notably adds IgnoreCometNativeDataFusion for SPARK-36182
(can't read TimestampLTZ as TimestampNTZ) and the row group skipping
overflow test, both tracked under issue apache#3311.

…#3415

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Regenerated from a fresh Spark v3.5.8 clone with only the
ParquetFileMetadataStructRowIndexSuite ignore annotations (apache#3317).

Row index tests (apache#3317) and field ID tests (apache#3316) are both fixed
upstream in apache#3414 and apache#3415, so no additional test ignores are needed.

Remove IgnoreCometNativeDataFusion annotations for tests that are now
passing with the schema validation fix for apache#3311:
- ParquetIOSuite: SPARK-35640 read binary as timestamp
- ParquetIOSuite: SPARK-35640 int as long
- ParquetQuerySuite: SPARK-36182 can't read TimestampLTZ as TimestampNTZ
- ParquetQuerySuite: row group skipping doesn't overflow
- ParquetFilterSuite: SPARK-25207 duplicate fields in case-insensitive mode

… tests

Fix fileNotFoundPattern regex in CometExecIterator that could never match
because the "External: " prefix was stripped before matching but the regex
still expected it. This fixes 4 HiveMetadataCacheSuite test failures.

Ignore 3 Parquet schema validation tests incompatible with native_datafusion:
- SPARK-36182 (TimestampLTZ as TimestampNTZ not detected for INT96)
- SPARK-25207 (duplicate fields exception wrapping differs)
- SPARK-26709 (INT32→INT64 coercion rejected by schema validation)

Closing this PR — it ignores more tests than it unignores, making it a net negative. Updated #3311 with detailed findings and recommended approach. The CometExecIterator fileNotFoundPattern regex fix (320cc02) should be cherry-picked separately.
