InsertIntoDir Unary Logical Operator¶

InsertIntoDir is a spark-sql-LogicalPlan.md#UnaryNode[unary logical operator] that represents spark-sql-AstBuilder.md#withInsertInto[INSERT OVERWRITE DIRECTORY] SQL statement.

NOTE: InsertIntoDir is similar to InsertIntoTable.md[InsertIntoTable] logical operator.

[[resolved]] InsertIntoDir can never be spark-sql-LogicalPlan.md#resolved[resolved] (i.e. InsertIntoTable should not be part of a logical plan after analysis and is supposed to be <> at analysis phase).

[[logical-conversions]] .InsertIntoDir's Logical Resolutions (Conversions) [cols="30,70",options="header",width="100%"] |=== | Logical Command | Description

| hive/InsertIntoHiveDirCommand.md[InsertIntoHiveDirCommand] | [[InsertIntoHiveDirCommand]] When hive/HiveAnalysis.md[HiveAnalysis] logical resolution rule transforms InsertIntoDir with a spark-sql-DDLUtils.md#isHiveTable[Hive table]

| InsertIntoDataSourceDirCommand.md[InsertIntoDataSourceDirCommand] | [[InsertIntoDataSourceDirCommand]] When DataSourceAnalysis logical resolution rule transforms InsertIntoDir with a Spark table
