Changing default Delta behavior in DBR 8.x for writes

[Anonymous]

Is there anyway to add a Spark Config that reverts the default behavior when doing tables writes from Delta to Parquet in DBR 8.0+? I know you can simply specify .format("parquet") but that could involve a decent amount of code change for some clients.

Please check out our migration guide on this topic.

Option one would be your best bet. You can set "spark.sql.sources.default" to parquet and "spark.sql.legacy.createHiveTableByDefault" to true on your cluster. 

Option two would be to change your code.
