Description
### What feature or improvement would you like to see?
For the Spark/Impala driver, currently if a query that includes the wildcard `*` projection (i.e., `SELECT * FROM table`), it does not retrieve complex columns, by default.
This is a server behavior that can be controlled by a [server setting](https://impala.apache.org/docs/build/html/topics/impala_expand_complex_types.html).
However, other driver implementations are able to return all columns (include those with complex types) in such a query without having to change the server setting.
This enhancement request is to have the ability, client-side, to retrieve all columns, regardless of type when a `SELECT *` query is performed.
