Hi Pralabh,
You need to check the latest compatibility between Spark version that can
successfully work as Hive execution engine
This is my old file alluding to spark-1.3.1 as the execution engine
set spark.home=/data6/hduser/spark-1.3.1-bin-hadoop2.6;
--set spark.home=/usr/lib/spark-1.6.2-bin-hadoop2.6;
set spark.master=yarn-client;
set hive.execution.engine=spark;
Hive is great as a data warehouse but the default mapReduce used is
Jurassic Park.
On the other hand Spark has performant inbuilt API for Hive. Otherwise you
can connect to Hive on a remote cluster through JDBC.
In python you can do
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from pyspark import SparkContext
from pyspark.sql import SQLContext
from pyspark.sql import HiveContext
And use it like below
sqltext = ""
if (spark.sql("SHOW TABLES IN test like 'randomDataPy'").count() == 1):
rows = spark.sql(f"""SELECT COUNT(1) FROM
{fullyQualifiedTableName}""").collect()[0][0]
print ("number of rows is ",rows)
else:
print("\nTable test.randomDataPy does not exist, creating table ")
sqltext = """
CREATE TABLE test.randomDataPy(
ID INT
, CLUSTERED INT
, SCATTERED INT
, RANDOMISED INT
, RANDOM_STRING VARCHAR(50)
, SMALL_VC VARCHAR(50)
, PADDING VARCHAR(4000)
)
STORED AS PARQUET
"""
spark.sql(sqltext)
