    sorry, it is not the point. the example make some confuse.
    replaced it with another example.
    
    val df = spark.read.json("/path/a")
    val df1 = spark.read.json("/path/b")
    
    df.createOrReplaceTempView("x")
    df1.createOrReplaceTempView("y")
    
    spark.sql("insert overwrite table x select * from y")
    
    this sql executed will hit the function `deleteMatchingPartitions` here
    
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/execution/datasources/InsertIntoHadoopFsRelationCommand.scala#L104
    
    the point is `/path/a` is `not a partition path`(e.g. /path/a=1),we still 
delete it through `deleteMatchingPartitions`. 
    
    From the method name `MatchingPartitions` ,we may think it is only apply to 
a `partition file`(e.g. /path/a=1). If it also apply to `no partition file`, we 
will confused.
    
    if we change the name from `deleteMatchingPartitions` to 
`deleteMatchingPrefix` , is't more clear?
