             Summary:  Support `truncate` option in Overwrite mode for JDBC 
DataFrameWriter
                 Key: SPARK-16463
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-16463
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Dongjoon Hyun
            Priority: Minor


This issue adds a boolean option, `truncate`, for SaveMode.Overwrite of JDBC 
DataFrameWriter. If this option is `true`, it use `TRUNCATE TABLE` instead of 
`DROP TABLE`.

- Without CREATE/DROP privilege, we can save dataframe to database. Sometime 
these are not allowed for security.
- It will keep the existing table information, so users can add and keep some 
additional CONSTRAINTs for the table.
- Sometime, TRUNCATE is faster than the combination of DROP/CREATE.

This issue is different from SPARK-16410 which aims to use `TRUNCATE` only for 
JDBC sources.
