Apache Spark reassigned SPARK-34962:
------------------------------------
Assignee: Tathagata Das (was: Apache Spark)
> Explicit representation of star in MergeIntoTable's Update and Insert action
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-34962
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-34962
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 3.1.1
> Reporter: Tathagata Das
> Assignee: Tathagata Das
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently, UpdateAction and InsertAction in the MergeIntoTable implicitly
> represent `update set *` and `insert *` with empty assignments. That means
> there is no way to differentiate between the representations of "update all
> columns" and "update no columns". For SQL MERGE queries, this inability does
> not matter because the SQL MERGE grammar that generated the MergeIntoTable
> plan does not allow "update no columns". However, other ways of generating
> the MergeIntoTable plan may not have that limitation, and may want to allow
> specifying "update no columns". For example, in the Delta Lake project we
> provide a type-safe Scala API for Merge, where it is perfectly valid to
> produce a Merge query with an update clause but no update assignments.
> Currently, we cannot use MergeIntoTable to represent this plan, thus
> complicating the generation, and resolution of merge query from scala API.
> This should be fixed by having an explicit representation of * in the
> UpdateAction and InsertAction.
