[SPARK-16803][SQL] SaveAsTable does not work when target table is a H…
…ive serde table ### What changes were proposed in this pull request? In Spark 2.0, `SaveAsTable` does not work when the target table is a Hive serde table, but Spark 1.6 works. **Spark 1.6** ``` Scala scala> sql("create table sample.sample stored as SEQUENCEFILE as select 1 as key, 'abc' as value") res2: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [] scala> val df = sql("select key, value as value from sample.sample") df: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [key: int, value: string] scala> df.write.mode("append").saveAsTable("sample.sample") scala> sql("select * from sample.sample").show() +---+-----+ |key|value| +---+-----+ | 1| abc| | 1| abc| +---+-----+ ``` **Spark 2.0** ``` Scala scala> df.write.mode("append").saveAsTable("sample.sample") org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: Saving data in MetastoreRelation sample, sample is not supported.; ``` So far, we do not plan to support it in Spark 2.1 due to the risk. Spark 1.6 works because it internally uses insertInto. But, if we change it back it will break the semantic of saveAsTable (this method uses by-name resolution instead of using by-position resolution used by insertInto). More extra changes are needed to support `hive` as a `format` in DataFrameWriter. Instead, users should use insertInto API. This PR corrects the error messages. Users can understand how to bypass it before we support it in a separate PR. ### How was this patch tested? Test cases are added Author: gatorsmile <[email protected]> Closes apache#15926 from gatorsmile/saveAsTableFix5.
