Apache Spark reassigned SPARK-22613:
------------------------------------
Assignee: Apache Spark
> Make UNCACHE TABLE behaviour consistent with CACHE TABLE
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-22613
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-22613
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Spark Core, SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0
> Reporter: Andreas Maier
> Assignee: Apache Spark
> Priority: Minor
>
> The Spark SQL function CACHE TABLE is eager by default. Therefore it offers
> an optional keyword LAZY in case you do not want to cache the complete table
> immediately (See
> https://docs.databricks.com/spark/latest/spark-sql/language-manual/cache-table.html).
> But the corresponding Spark SQL function UNCACHE TABLE is lazy by default
> and doesn't offer an option EAGER (See
> https://docs.databricks.com/spark/latest/spark-sql/language-manual/uncache-table.html,
>
> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47226494/is-uncache-table-a-lazy-operation-in-spark-sql).
> So one cannot cache and uncache a table in an eager way using Spark SQL.
> As a user I want an option EAGER for UNCACHE TABLE. An alternative could be
> to change the behaviour of UNCACHE TABLE to be eager by default (consistent
> with CACHE TABLE) and then offer an option LAZY also for UNCACHE TABLE.
