I think Spark is a Calculation engine design for OLAP or Ad-hoc.Spark is not a traditional relational database,UPDATE need some mandatory constraint like transaction and lock.

Databricks does provide Delta which supports UPDATE, but I think that the open source SPARK does not have the UPDATE option. HIVE has been supporting UPDATES for a very very long time now, and I was thinking when would that become available to SPARK users? With GDPR that becomes kind of important. Regards, Gourav
