Description

In SPARK-29649, we catch `FileAlreadyExistsException` in `FileFormatWriter` and fail fast for the task set to prevent task retry.

After latest discussion, it is important to be able to keep original behavior that is to retry tasks even `FileAlreadyExistsException` is thrown, because `FileAlreadyExistsException` could be recoverable in some cases.

We are going to add a config we can control this behavior and set it false for fast-fail by default.
