Wenchen Fan commented on SPARK-20236:
-------------------------------------
I think the confusion here is, the partition is a concept for tables, not for
dataset. So your {{resultantDataset}} is just a collection of data, it has no
partition information. And the table {{test_table}} is just a normal table.
{{CREATE TABLE test_table like another_test_table}} will keep all the table
properties like partition, so it can work.
My suggestion is to create the table with {{CREATE TABLE ... LIKE ...}} first,
and then {{resultantDataset.write.insert("test_table")}}
> Overwrite a partitioned data source table should only overwrite related
> partitions

> Key: SPARK-20236
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20236
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0
> Reporter: Wenchen Fan
> Assignee: Wenchen Fan
> Priority: Major
> Labels: releasenotes
> Fix For: 2.3.0
>
>
> When we overwrite a partitioned data source table, currently Spark will
> truncate the entire table to write new data, or truncate a bunch of
> partitions according to the given static partitions.
> For example, {{INSERT OVERWRITE tbl ...}} will truncate the entire table,
> {{INSERT OVERWRITE tbl PARTITION (a=1, b)}} will truncate all the partitions
> that starts with {{a=1}}.
> This behavior is kind of reasonable as we can know which partitions will be
> overwritten before runtime. However, hive has a different behavior that it
> only overwrites related partitions, e.g. {{INSERT OVERWRITE tbl SELECT
> 1,2,3}} will only overwrite partition {{a=2, b=3}}, assuming {{tbl}} has only
> one data column and is partitioned by {{a}} and {{b}}.
> It seems better if we can follow hive's behavior.
