This PR addresses a performance issue related to column pruning in nested structures when reading Iceberg tables using Parquet files.
Issue
In the current implementation of
PruneColumns#struct
, we are including the entire parent column in the read schema, even when only a subset of nested fields is required. This occurs because:The
originalField
is being added to thefilteredFields
regardless of whether the passed filteredfield
is already present. This behavior causes the entire parent column to be read if any leaf node within the nested structure is selected in a query.Proposed solution
I updated the code to use passed filtered
field
when present, and useoriginalField
when passed filteredfield
is null.
