Cheolsoo Park commented on SPARK-8105: -------------------------------------- [~yhuai], what's the plan for this? SPARK-8107 seems to suggest adding a new function to SqlContext {{table("dbName", "tblName")}}, but the patch isn't committed while the jira is closed. Why can we simply support HiveContext {{table("dbName.tblName")}} since it is backward compatible I believe? Any concern with this approach? > sqlContext.table("databaseName.tableName") broke with SPARK-6908 > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-8105 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8105 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 1.4.0 > Environment: Spark with Hive > Reporter: Doug Balog > Priority: Critical > > Since the introduction of Dataframes in Spark 1.3.0 and prior to SPARK-6908 > landing into master, a user could get a DataFrame to a Hive table using > `sqlContext.table("databaseName.tableName")` > Since SPARK-6908, the user now receives a NoSuchTableException. > This amounts to a change in non experimental sqlContext.table() api and will > require user code to be modified to work properly with 1.4.0. > The only viable work around I could find is > `sqlContext.sql("select * from databseName.tableName")` > which seems like a hack. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
