I'm trying to write a dataframe to a delta table and am getting this error.

Does your delta tables contains all columns what your dataframe contains. If there is schema mismatch it might be a reason for failure.

df.write.format("delta") \
           .option("mergeSchema", "true") \
           .mode("append") \
           .save(DELTALAKE_SILVER_PATH)

My understanding was that I was writing to a brand new delta table that doesn't exist, and hence there would be no schema mismatch. I also tried the inferSchema option. Is that not the case? I did the same for other dataframes and it wasn't an issue
