assertion failed: The table to be created must have a provider.CreateTable Logical Operator
CreateTable is a logical operator that represents (is created for) the following:
-
DataFrameWriteris requested to create a table (for DataFrameWriter.saveAsTable operator) -
SparkSqlAstBuilderis requested to visitCreateTable (forCREATE TABLESQL command) or visitCreateHiveTable (forCREATE EXTERNAL TABLESQL command) -
CatalogImplis requested to create a table (for Catalog.createTable operator)
CreateTable requires that the table provider of the CatalogTable is defined or throws an AssertionError:
The optional AS query is defined when used for the following:
-
DataFrameWriteris requested to create a table (for DataFrameWriter.saveAsTable operator) -
SparkSqlAstBuilderis requested to visitCreateTable (forCREATE TABLESQL command) or visitCreateHiveTable (forCREATE EXTERNAL TABLESQL command) with an AS clause
CreateTable can never be resolved and is replaced (resolved) with a logical command at analysis phase in the following rules:
-
(for non-hive data source tables) DataSourceAnalysis posthoc logical resolution rule to a CreateDataSourceTableCommand or a CreateDataSourceTableAsSelectCommand logical command (when the query was defined or not, respectively)
-
(for hive tables) HiveAnalysis post-hoc logical resolution rule to a CreateTableCommand or a CreateHiveTableAsSelectCommand logical command (when query was defined or not, respectively)
Creating CreateTable Instance
CreateTable takes the following to be created:
-
Optional AS query (Logical query plan)
When created, CreateTable makes sure that the optional logical query plan is undefined only when the mode is ErrorIfExists or Ignore. CreateTable throws an AssertionError otherwise:
assertion failed: create table without data insertion can only use ErrorIfExists or Ignore as SaveMode.
