    Hi, @gatorsmile .
    
    It's the same behavior with Apache Spark 1.6.2. This PR doesn't make any 
regression for Datasource tables. Actually, the error you mentioned is raised 
by `HiveMetastore` since it's not Hive compatible table as you see the WARNING 
below.
    
    ```scala
    scala> sc.version
    scala> sqlContext.range(1).select('id as 'a, 'id as 'b, 'id as 'c, 'id as 
'd).write.partitionBy("d").saveAsTable("t1")
    16/09/24 08:24:51 WARN HiveContext$$anon$2: Persisting partitioned data 
source relation `t1` into Hive metastore in Spark SQL specific format, which is 
NOT compatible with Hive. Input path(s): 
    file:/user/hive/warehouse/t1
    scala> sql("DESC FORMATTED t1 partition (d=1)").show(100, false)
    16/09/24 08:25:06 ERROR DDLTask: java.lang.RuntimeException: cannot find
