With the latest changes to our infrastructure both Spark and Presto deal nicely with evolving schema. Parquet2hive picks the latest available schema for a (dataset, version) combo. As long as that schema is backward compatible (e.g. a new nullable column has been added) with the ones used to generate older files, both Spark and Presto know how to deal with it.
