             Summary: Completely disable feature 'nested struct coercion' for 
MERGE INTO
                 Key: SPARK-54721
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-54721
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 4.1.0
            Reporter: Szehon Ho


As https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/53326 is not allowed for Spark 4.1 , we 
should disable the feature completely then.  It doesn't make sense to allow the 
user to opt-in the feature, when we plan to completely change the meaning for 
subsequent releases.

Background, without this, there is a risk of data loss, because values for 
nested field that do not exist in source are all nullified in MERGE INTO with 
UPDATE SET *
