----------------------------------

Hi, I'd like to work on this issue

> Make attribute binding collision-safe in DSv2 row-level operations
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: SPARK-58815
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-58815
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: SQL
>    Affects Versions: 4.2.0
>            Reporter: Eames Trinh
>            Priority: Major
>
> DSv2 row-level operation rewrites sometimes resolve attributes by name after 
> connector references and Spark-generated attributes have already been added 
> to the plan. Attribute names are not unique, so a user column can shadow a 
> metadata column or an internal attribute.
> This problem also occurs with ordinary top-level references; it is not 
> limited to nested row IDs.
> For example, a scan may contain:
> {code:java}
> index#1               user data column
> __metadata_index#2    metadata column with logical name "index"{code}
>  
> If {{SupportsDelta.rowId()}} returns {{{}FieldReference("index"){}}}, the 
> rewrite may select the nullable user column instead of the non-null metadata 
> column. This can produce {{NULLABLE_ROW_ID_ATTRIBUTES}} or pass the wrong 
> value to the writer.
> MERGE has a similar problem. Spark generates an attribute named 
> {{{_}__{_}row_id}}  __  for cardinality validation and later locates it by 
> name. If the target table already contains a user column named __ 
> {{{}__row_id{}}}, {{MergeRows}} can bind the user column and incorrectly 
> report {{{}MERGE_CARDINALITY_VIOLATION{}}}.
> The same issue can affect required metadata attributes, saved row-ID values, 
> generated MERGE presence markers, write distribution and ordering, and 
> runtime group filtering.
> Once a connector or system reference has been resolved, row-level rewrites 
> should carry the resolved {{Attribute}} identity through generated plans and 
> bind later projections using {{{}exprId{}}}. They should not recover the 
> attribute by name.
> Expected behavior:
>  * User columns cannot shadow connector metadata or Spark-generated 
> attributes.
>  * Row IDs and required metadata retain their identity through 
> {{{}Project{}}}, {{{}Expand{}}}, {{{}MergeRows{}}}, write preparation, and 
> runtime filtering.
>  * Existing behavior remains unchanged when names are unique.
