+The `hudi-spark` module offers the DataSource API to write (and read) a Spark 
DataFrame into a Hudi table. There are a number of options available:
 
+**`HoodieWriteConfig`**:
+
+**TABLE_NAME** (Required)<br>
+
+
+**`DataSourceWriteOptions`**:
+
+**RECORDKEY_FIELD_OPT_KEY** (Required): Primary key field(s). Nested fields 
can be specified using the dot notation eg: `a.b.c`. When using multiple 
columns as primary key use comma seperated notaion, eg: `"col1,col2,col3,etc"`. 
Single or multiple columns as primary key specified by 
`KEYGENERATOR_CLASS_OPT_KEY` property.<br>
+Default value: `"uuid"`<br>
+
+**PARTITIONPATH_FIELD_OPT_KEY** (Required): Columns to be used for 
partitioning the table. To prevent partitioning, provide empty string as value 
eg: `""`. Specify paritioning/no partitioning using 
`HIVE_PARTITION_EXTRACTOR_CLASS_OPT_KEY`<br>
+Default value: `"partitionpath"`<br>
+
+**PRECOMBINE_FIELD_OPT_KEY** (Required): When two records have the same key 
value, the record with the largest value from the field specified here will be 
choosen.<br>
+Default value: `"ts"`<br>
+
+**OPERATION_OPT_KEY**: The [write operations](#write-operations) to use. Note: 
this cannot change across writes.<br>

Review comment:
       in fact, there are some ways to delete records in hudi, 1. we would use 
"org.apache.hudi.EmptyHoodieRecordPayload" to delete a batch of records, 2. we 
could directly use `delete` api, 3. we could we `_hoodie_is_delete` flag to 
delete record. Also the `HIVE_PARTITION_EXTRACTOR_CLASS_OPT_KEY ` has nothing 
to do with the writing path IIRC, it is only related to hive sync.
