Yes, Spark 1.5 use Hive 1.2's metastore client by default. You can change it by putting the following settings in your spark conf.
spark.sql.hive.metastore.version = 0.13.1 spark.sql.hive.metastore.jars = maven or the path of your hive 0.13 jars and hadoop jars For spark.sql.hive.metastore.jars, basically, it tells spark sql where to find metastore client's classes of Hive 0.13.1. If you set it to maven, we will download needed jars directly (it is an easy way to do testing work).
