             Summary: DataSourceV2: Support all SaveModes in 
DataFrameWriter.save
                 Key: SPARK-29219
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-29219
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
            Reporter: Burak Yavuz


We currently don't support all save modes in DataFrameWriter.save as the 
TableProvider interface allows for the reading/writing of data, but not for the 
creation of tables. We created a catalog API to support the 
creation/dropping/checking existence of tables, but DataFrameWriter.save 
doesn't necessarily use a catalog for example, when writing to a path based 
table.

For this case, we propose a new interface that will allow TableProviders to 
extract an Indentifier and a Catalog from a bundle of 
CaseInsensitiveStringOptions. This information can then be used to check the 
existence of a table, and support all save modes. If a Catalog is not defined, 
then the behavior is to use the spark_catalog (or configured session catalog) 
to perform the check.
