Hive Merge command is not working in Spark HiveContext

I am running hive merge command using Spark HiveContext in 1.6.3 spark version, but it is failing with below error.

2017-09-11 18:30:33 Driver [INFO ] ParseDriver - Parse Completed
2017-09-11 18:30:34 Driver [INFO ] ParseDriver - Parsing command: MERGE INTO emp_with_orc AS T USING SOURCE_TABLE AS S 
ON T.id = S.id 
WHEN MATCHED AND (S.operation = 1) THEN UPDATE SET a = S.a,b = S.b 
WHEN MATCHED AND (S.operation = 2) THEN DELETE 
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT VALUES (S.id, S.a, S.b)
2017-09-11 18:30:34 Driver [ERROR] HiveWriter - Error while executing the merge query.

I am not sure if ACID transaction merge command is supported or not in HiveContext of spark.

Any help on this will be appreciated.

To use MERGE operation you will need to execute it through the HIVE JDBC since MERGE is not supported by Spark SQL as of this day.

Spark doesn't support UPDATES or DELETES so exception is an expected behavior.
