   @nsivabalan @codope Worked fine after I cast _hoodie_is_deleted to boolean.
   
   ```
   df1=df1.withColumn("_hoodie_is_deleted",df1["_hoodie_is_deleted"].cast(BooleanType()))
   ```
   
   Please note that this is still a bad experience that I need to insert _hoodie_is_deleted as "false" to the initial records for the later delete operation to work. It would be nice if users do not need to explicitly set  _hoodie_is_deleted  to "false".
   
   If I do not set  _hoodie_is_deleted  to "false" for the initial records, I get the error on delete.
   
   ```
   Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Null-value for required field: _hoodie_is_deleted
   ```
