Review Comment:
   Hmm, good point, actually I'm not sure if INSERT_INTO_REPLACE fits here, 
INSERT REPLACE USING a grouped-of-rows-based replacement, unlike MERGE INTO 
which is a row-based replacement.
   
   Imagine you are partitioned by a certain date, target table has 5 rows of 
that date, while source table has 2 rows of that date, then that 5 rows can be 
replaced by 2 rows.
   
   Where as MERGE INTO cannot do that, it fails when multiple source rows match 
and attempt to update the same target row.
   
   Do we happen to know what's the precise definition of "row-level" here?
