I am building an analytics environment based on Spark and want to use HIVE in multi-user mode i.e. not use the embedded derby database but use Postgres and HDFS instead. I am using the included Spark Thrift Server to process queries using Spark SQL.
The documentation gives me the impression that I need to create a custom build of Spark 1.4.1. However I don't think this is either accurate now OR it is for some different context I'm not aware of? I used the pre-built Spark 1.4.1 distribution today with my hive-site.xml for Postgres and HDFS and it worked! I see the warehouse files turn up in HDFS and I see the metadata inserted into Postgres when I created a test table. I can connect to the Thrift Server using beeline and perform queries on my data. I also verified using the Spark UI that the SQL is being processed by Spark SQL. So I guess I'm asking is the document out-of-date or am I missing something?
