Different error handling behavior after DB runtime upgrade from 13.3 to 14.3

Karlo_Kotarac

Hi! We want to upgrade the DB runtime on our clusters from 13.3 LTS to 14.3 LTS. Currently, everything looks good except for the different error-handling in the new runtime.

For example, the error in the 13.3 LTS runtime looks familiar:

while the same code on 14.3 LTS runtime throws the following error:

Karlo_Kotarac_1-1717743788282.png

Only after digging deeper into error logs, can I see that the error is the same in this case:

Not sure if it is important information but we use the spark.sql() function when calling merge into command. Is there a way to restore the previous error-handling behaviour because current errors are not informative?

@Karlo_Kotarac Where do you see this error:

In the notebook where this error happened below the merge statement after expanding the error message

The complete error is then the following:

as it is unclear which source row should be used to update or delete the matching
target row. You can preprocess the source table to eliminate the possibility of
multiple matches. Please refer to
