Description
Fix a data loss bug in MergeIntoCommand.
It's caused by using different spark session config object for PreprocessTableMerge and MergeIntoCommand. In PreprocessTableMerge, the config value is from the spark session which is given for DeltaTable. In MergeIntoSchema it refers SQLConf.get which is from the active session of the current thread. It can be different when user set another new spark session or active session just doesn't set properly before the execution.
If source dataframe has more columns than target table, auto schema merge feature adds additional nullable column to
target table schema. The updated output projection built in PreprocessTableMerge, so
matchedClauses
andnotMatchedClauses
contains the addtional columns, but target table schema in MergeIntoCommand doesn't have it.As a result, the following index doesn't indicate the delete flag column index, which is numFields - 2.
row.getBoolean returns
getByte() != 0
, which causes dropping rows randomly.matched rows in target table loss
Also as autoMerge doesn't work
newly added column data in source df loss.
The fix makes sure setting active session as the given spark session for target table. The PR applies the fix for other command to avoid any inconsistent config behavior.
