Since hive and spark SQL internally use HDFS and Hive metastore. The only thing you want to change is the processing engine. You can try to bring your hive-site.xml to %SPARK_HOME%/conf/hive-site.xml.(Ensure that the hive site xml captures the metastore connection details).
Its a hack, i havnt tried it. I have played around with the metastore and it should work.
