David Winters commented on SPARK-9761: -------------------------------------- Hi [~xwu0226] and [~simeons], Is there any plan to resolve this issue anytime soon? I see that this bug hasn't been assigned to anyone and there is no fix version set. I'm seeing this same behavior and I also get an exception when attempting to append to the altered table.
