Summary

When switching index pattern in Discover, this PR removes the columns and sort that are not available in the new index pattern. Selected fields that are neither part of the current and next index pattern are not removed (E.g. products of our kibana_sample_data_ecommerce). In the following example, when switching index pattern DistanceKilometers & DistanceMiles are remove because they are not part of the kibana_sample_data_commerce index pattern. And since no other column, that both index patterns share, was selected, _source as default column is displayed.

You can opt out in Advanced Settings if you prefer the columns not to be modified

Tested with and without advanced setting and works well, LGTM. Not sure about the unknown fields case but not a blocker

Can you explain the reasoning behind this? How would a user run into this case and why would they want to keep the unknown fields?

Yes, imagine you have 2 ecommerce index patterns, and you've selected products, then switching index patterns wouldn't remove them.
