- Since Spark 2.4, creating a managed table with nonempty location is not allowed. An exception is thrown when attempting to create a managed table with nonempty location. To set `true` to `spark.sql.allowCreatingManagedTableUsingNonemptyLocation` restores the previous behavior. This option will be removed in Spark 3.0.
- Since Spark 2.4, the type coercion rules can automatically promote the argument types of the variadic SQL functions (e.g., IN/COALESCE) to the widest common type, no matter how the input arguments order. In prior Spark versions, the promotion could fail in some specific orders (e.g., TimestampType, IntegerType and StringType) and throw an exception.
- In version 2.3 and earlier, `to_utc_timestamp` and `from_utc_timestamp` respect the timezone in the input timestamp string, which breaks the assumption that the input timestamp is in a specific timezone. Therefore, these 2 functions can return unexpected results. In version 2.4 and later, this problem has been fixed. `to_utc_timestamp` and `from_utc_timestamp` will return null if the input timestamp string contains timezone. As an example, `from_utc_timestamp('2000-10-10 00:00:00', 'GMT+1')` will return `2000-10-10 01:00:00` in both Spark 2.3 and 2.4. However, `from_utc_timestamp('2000-10-10 00:00:00+00:00', 'GMT+1')`, assuming a local timezone of GMT+8, will return `2000-10-10 09:00:00` in Spark 2.3 but `null` in 2.4. For people who don't care about this problem and want to retain the previous behaivor to keep their query unchanged, you can set `spark.sql.function.rejectTimezoneInString` to false. This option will be removed in Spark 3.0 and should only be used as a temporary workaround.
- In version 2.3 and earlier, Spark converts Parquet Hive tables by default but ignores table properties like `TBLPROPERTIES (parquet.compression 'NONE')`. This happens for ORC Hive table properties like `TBLPROPERTIES (orc.compress 'NONE')` in case of `spark.sql.hive.convertMetastoreOrc=true`, too. Since Spark 2.4, Spark respects Parquet/ORC specific table properties while converting Parquet/ORC Hive tables. As an example, `CREATE TABLE t(id int) STORED AS PARQUET TBLPROPERTIES (parquet.compression 'NONE')` would generate Snappy parquet files during insertion in Spark 2.3, and in Spark 2.4, the result would be uncompressed parquet files.

## Upgrading From Spark SQL 2.2 to 2.3

- Since Spark 2.3, the queries from raw JSON/CSV files are disallowed when the referenced columns only include the internal corrupt record column (named `_corrupt_record` by default). For example, `spark.read.schema(schema).json(file).filter($"_corrupt_record".isNotNull).count()` and `spark.read.schema(schema).json(file).select("_corrupt_record").show()`. Instead, you can cache or save the parsed results and then send the same query. For example, `val df = spark.read.schema(schema).json(file).cache()` and then `df.filter($"_corrupt_record".isNotNull).count()`.
