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.
