Markus, Thanks. That makes sense. I was able to get this to work with spark-shell passing in the git built jar. I did notice that I couldn't get AvroSaver.save to work with SQLContext, but it works with HiveContext. Not sure if that is an issue, but for me, it is fine.
Once again, thanks for the help. Kevin On Fri, Mar 13, 2015 at 1:57 PM, M. Dale <medal...@yahoo.com> wrote: > I probably did not do a good enough job explaining the problem.
