> In Spark 1.6, it works, but Spark 2.0 does not work. The error message from Spark 2.0 is
> {noformat}
> scala> df.write.mode("append").saveAsTable("sample.sample")
> org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: Saving data in MetastoreRelation sample, sample
>  is not supported.;
> {noformat}
> So far, we do not plan to support it in Spark 2.0. 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}}).
> Instead, users should use {{insertInto}} API. We should correct the error messages. Users can understand how to bypass it before we support it.
