saveAsTable fails on Python with "Unresolved plan found"

[Judy Nash]

Hello,

I am following the tutorial code on sql programming 
guide<https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.2.1/sql-programming-guide.html#inferring-the-schema-using-reflection>
 to try out Python on spark 1.2.1.

SaveAsTable function works on Scala bur fails on python with "Unresolved plan 
found".

Broken Python code:

from pyspark.sql import SQLContext, Row

sqlContext = SQLContext(sc)

lines = sc.textFile("data.txt")

parts = lines.map(lambda l: l.split(","))

people = parts.map(lambda p: Row(id=p[0], name=p[1]))

schemaPeople = sqlContext.inferSchema(people)

schemaPeople.saveAsTable("peopletable")

saveAsTable fails with Unresolved plan found.
org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.errors.package$TreeNodeException: Unresolved plan 
found, tree:
'CreateTableAsSelect None, pytable, false, None


This scala code works fine:

from pyspark.sql import SQLContext, Row

sqlContext = SQLContext(sc)

lines = sc.textFile("data.txt")

parts = lines.map(lambda l: l.split(","))

people = parts.map(lambda p: Row(id=p[0], name=p[1]))

schemaPeople = sqlContext.inferSchema(people)

schemaPeople.saveAsTable("peopletable")

Is this a known issue? Or am I not using Python correctly?

Thanks,
Judy
