Good point, @mosabua. A better title for the change would be: "In SQL MERGE change only updated columns". And note that in this release it works only in the Phoenix connector.

What does "nested field has schema changes" mean?

[mosabua]

I think this is related to the other change about nested fields

[martint]

The grammar seems off, too. How about this, assuming I'm interpreting the entry correctly:

Fix failure when reading reading columns containing nested row types that differ from the schema of the underlying Parquet data.

[martint]

Instead of mentioning the underlying table (which is an implementation detail of the driver), describe which API is now faster.
