Hello, I'm trying to start the SparkSQL thriftserver over YARN, connecting it to the 1.1.0-cdh5.4.3 hive metastore that we already have in production.
I downloaded the latest version of Spark (1.5.0), I just followed the instructions from the documentation <http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html#interacting-with-different-versions-of-hive-metastore>, and I configured the spark-default.conf file with the following parameters: *spark.sql.hive.metastore.version* 1.1.0 *spark.sql.hive.metastore.jars* {path-to-hive-install}/lib/*:{path-to-hadoop-install}/common/*:{path-to-hadoop-install}{path-to-hadoop-install}/hdfs/*:{path-to-hadoop-install}/hdfs/lib/*:{path-to-hadoop-install}/yarn/*:{path-to-hadoop-install}/yarn/lib/*:{path-to-hadoop-install}/mapreduce/*:{path-to-hadoop-install}/mapreduce/lib/* Moreover, I've also placed the *hive-site.xml* into the *conf* folder. When I startup the thriftserver, it eventually crashes with the following message: 15/09/25 12:50:57 INFO hive.HiveContext: default warehouse location is /user/hive/warehouse 15/09/25 12:50:57 INFO hive.HiveContext: Initializing HiveMetastoreConnection version 1.1.0 using [Ljava.net.URL;@51fd1e7f 15/09/25 12:50:58 INFO client.ClientWrapper: Inspected Hadoop version: 2.6.0-cdh5.4.3 Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/common/base/Predicate when creating Hive client using classpath: *HERE ALL THE JARS INSIDE THE **spark.sql.hive.metastore.jars (including guava-14.0.1.jar)* If I put "maven" inside the *spark.sql.hive.metastore.jars* parameter I get the same error. Do you know what could I be doing wrong? I don't understand, because the class that he's complaining (com.google.common.base.Predicate) it's already in the classpath.
