[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-19335) Spark should support doing an efficient DataFrame Upsert via JDBC

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19335?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16826378#comment-16826378 ] 

Danny Guinther commented on SPARK-19335:
----------------------------------------

Any update on this?

Also, please forgive this dumb question, but I'm shocked that there's not more demand for this feature which makes me wonder if I have major misconceptions about Spark and its intended use. How do users survive without this functionality? I take it that the destination SQL database should have flexible up-time requirements allowing for drastic changes? The overwrite save mode is the only thing that offers anything like an UPDATE, but totally dropping/truncating the destination table seems inconceivable for many production environments. What am I missing?

> Doing a database update, as opposed to an insert is useful, particularly when working with streaming applications which may require revisions to previously stored data. 
> Spark DataFrames/DataSets do not currently support an Update feature via the JDBC Writer allowing only Overwrite or Append.
