Hi Luqman, At present, the phoenix-spark integration relies on the schema having been already created.
There has been some discussion of augmenting the supported Spark 'SaveMode's to include 'CREATE IF NOT EXISTS' logic. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-2745 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-2632 Contributions would be most welcome!
