I realize that the Spark on Kudu work to date has been based on Spark 1.6,
where your statement about Spark SQL relying on Hive is true. In Spark
2.0, however, that dependency no longer exists since Spark SQL essentially
copied over the parts of Hive that were needed into Spark itself, and has
been free to diverge since then.
