             Summary: Dynamic partitioning + saveAsTable with multiple 
partition columns create empty directory
                 Key: SPARK-25480
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-25480
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
            Reporter: Daniel Mateus Pires


We use .saveAsTable and dynamic partitioning as our only way to write data to 
S3 from Spark.

When only 1 partition column is defined for a table, .saveAsTable behaves as 
expected:
 - with Overwrite mode it will create a table if it doesn't exist and write the 
data
 - with Append mode it will append to a given partition
 - with Overwrite mode if the table exists it will overwrite the partition

If 2 partition columns are used however, the directory is created on S3 with 
the SUCCESS file, but no data is actually written

our solution is to check if the table doesn't exist, and in that case, set the 
partitioning mode back to static before running saveAsTable:
{code}
spark.conf.set("spark.sql.sources.partitionOverwriteMode", "dynamic")
df.write.mode("overwrite").partitionBy("year", "month").option("path", 
"s3://hbc-data-warehouse/integration/users_test").saveAsTable("users_test")
{code}
