nssalian opened a new issue #3665: URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/3665
Context: https://iceberg.apache.org/#spark-writes/#merge-into I see that merge into is the recommended writing pattern instead of Insert Overwrite. But there's no Scala API equivalent and we have to resort to using SQL via Spark Sql. It would be great to have it exposed like `append`, `overwrite`. Possible solution: This has to be pushed out in the Spark community. Delta has a solution to this: https://github.com/delta-io/delta/blob/7c6a0ceca84b5d04653dec7361aa82075542dfee/core/src/main/scala/io/delta/tables/DeltaTable.scala#L354-L406 It would help users in the Iceberg community to have this as well. Concern: This might take longer to implement on the Spark side. Perhaps we could do something to add it to Iceberg. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
