             Summary: Method mode with String parameters within DataFrameWriter 
is error prone
                 Key: SPARK-21640
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-21640
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
            Reporter: Alberto


The following method:
{code:java}
def mode(saveMode: String): DataFrameWriter[T]
{code}
sets the SaveMode of the DataFrameWriter depending on the string that is 
pass-in as parameter.

There is a java Enum with all the save modes which are Append, Overwrite, 
ErrorIfExists and Ignore. In my current project I was writing some code that 
was using this enum to get the string value that I use to call the mode method:


{code:java}
  private[utils] val configModeAppend = SaveMode.Append.toString.toLowerCase
  private[utils] val configModeErrorIfExists = 
SaveMode.ErrorIfExists.toString.toLowerCase
  private[utils] val configModeIgnore = SaveMode.Ignore.toString.toLowerCase
  private[utils] val configModeOverwrite = 
SaveMode.Overwrite.toString.toLowerCase
{code}

The configModeErrorIfExists val contains the value "errorifexists" and when I 
call the saveMode method using this string it does not match. I suggest to 
include "errorifexists" as a right match for the ErrorIfExists SaveMode.

Will create a PR to address this issue ASAP.
