Hi,
On AWS EMR 4.2 / Spark 1.5.2, I tried the example here https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.5.0/sql-programming-guide.html#hive-tables to load data from a file into a Hive table. scala> val sqlContext = new org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveContext(sc) scala> sqlContext.sql("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS src (key INT, value STRING)") scala> sqlContext.sql("LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH 'data.txt' INTO TABLE src") The resultant error is below. Just wondering if I'm missing any steps in getting Hive setup on the AWS EMR Spark setup. Thanks, -- Nick 16/03/02 14:14:04 INFO Hive: Renaming src: file:/home/hadoop/data.txt, dest: hdfs://ip-10-247-128-59.ec2.internal:8020/user/hive/warehouse/src/data_copy_2.txt, Status:true 16/03/02 14:14:04 WARN RetryingMetaStoreClient: MetaStoreClient lost connection.
