CreateDeltaTableCommand¶

CreateDeltaTableCommand is a RunnableCommand (Spark SQL).

Creating Instance¶

CreateDeltaTableCommand takes the following to be created:

• CatalogTable (Spark SQL)
• Existing CatalogTable (if available)
• SaveMode
• Optional Data Query (LogicalPlan)
• CreationMode (default: TableCreationModes.Create)
• tableByPath flag (default: false)

CreateDeltaTableCommand is created when:

• DeltaCatalog is requested to create a Delta table

Executing Command¶

run(
  sparkSession: SparkSession): Seq[Row]

run creates a DeltaLog (for the given table based on a table location) and a DeltaOptions.

run starts a transaction.

run branches off based on the optional data query. For data query defined, run creates a WriteIntoDelta and requests it to write. Otherwise, run creates an empty table.

run commits the transaction.

In the end, run updateCatalog.

run is part of the RunnableCommand abstraction.

updateCatalog¶

updateCatalog(
  spark: SparkSession,
  table: CatalogTable): Unit

updateCatalog uses the given SparkSession to access SessionCatalog to createTable or alterTable when the tableByPath flag is off. Otherwise, updateCatalog does nothing.

getOperation¶

getOperation(
  metadata: Metadata,
  isManagedTable: Boolean,
  options: Option[DeltaOptions]): DeltaOperations.Operation
