## What changes were proposed in this pull request? The from_json() function accepts an additional parameter, where the user might specify the schema. The issue is that the specified schema might not be compatible with data. In particular, the JSON data might be missing data for fields declared as non-nullable in the schema. The from_json() function does not verify the data against such errors. When data with missing fields is sent to the parquet encoder, there is no verification either. The end results is a corrupt parquet file. To avoid corruptions, make sure that all fields in the user-specified schema are set to be nullable. Since this changes the behavior of a public function, we need to include it in release notes. The behavior can be reverted by setting `spark.sql.fromJsonForceNullableSchema=false` ## How was this patch tested? Added two new tests. Author: Michał Świtakowski <michal.switakowski@databricks.com> Closes #20694 from mswit-databricks/SPARK-23173. |

Spark SQL
This module provides support for executing relational queries expressed in either SQL or the DataFrame/Dataset API.
Spark SQL is broken up into four subprojects:
- Catalyst (sql/catalyst) - An implementation-agnostic framework for manipulating trees of relational operators and expressions.
- Execution (sql/core) - A query planner / execution engine for translating Catalyst's logical query plans into Spark RDDs. This component also includes a new public interface, SQLContext, that allows users to execute SQL or LINQ statements against existing RDDs and Parquet files.
- Hive Support (sql/hive) - Includes an extension of SQLContext called HiveContext that allows users to write queries using a subset of HiveQL and access data from a Hive Metastore using Hive SerDes. There are also wrappers that allows users to run queries that include Hive UDFs, UDAFs, and UDTFs.
- HiveServer and CLI support (sql/hive-thriftserver) - Includes support for the SQL CLI (bin/spark-sql) and a HiveServer2 (for JDBC/ODBC) compatible server.
Running sql/create-docs.sh
