Jianshi Huang created SPARK-4758: ------------------------------------ Summary: Make metastore_db in-memory for HiveContext Key: SPARK-4758 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4758 Project: Spark Issue Type: Improvement Components: SQL Affects Versions: 1.2.0, 1.3.0 Reporter: Jianshi Huang Priority: Minor
HiveContext by default will create a local folder metastore_db. This is not very user friendly as the metastore_db will be locked by HiveContext and thus will block multiple Spark process to start from the same directory. I would propose adding a default hive-site.xml in conf/ with the following content. <configuration> <property> <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL</name> <value>jdbc:derby:memory:databaseName=metastore_db;create=true</value> </property> <property> <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName</name> <value>org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver</value> </property> <property> <name>hive.metastore.warehouse.dir</name> <value>file://${user.dir}/hive/warehouse</value> </property> </configuration> jdbc:derby:memory:databaseName=metastore_db;create=true Will make sure the embedded derby database is created in-memory.
