This happened to me as well, putting hive-site.xml inside conf doesn't seem to work. Instead I added /etc/hive/conf to SPARK_CLASSPATH and it worked. You can try this approach.

On the Spark and Hive node I can create and query tables inside Hive, and on remote machines I can submit the SparkPi example to the Spark master. But I failed to run the following example code : public class SparkTest { public static void main(String[] args) { String appName= "This is a test application"; String master="spark://lix1.bh.com:7077"; SparkConf conf = new SparkConf().setAppName(appName).setMaster(master); JavaSparkContext sc = new JavaSparkContext(conf); JavaHiveContext sqlCtx = new org.apache.spark.sql.hive.api.java.JavaHiveContext(sc); //sqlCtx.sql("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS src (key INT, value STRING)"); //sqlCtx.sql("LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH '/opt/spark/examples/src/main/resources/kv1.txt' INTO TABLE src"); // Queries are expressed in HiveQL. List<Row> rows = sqlCtx.sql("FROM src SELECT key, value").collect(); System.out.print("I got " + rows.size() + " rows \r\n"); sc.close();} } Exception in thread "main" org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.InvalidTableException: Table not found src at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Hive.getTable(Hive.java:980) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Hive.getTable(Hive.java:950) at org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveMetastoreCatalog.lookupRelation(HiveMetastoreCatalog.scala:70) at org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveContext$$anon$2.org$apache$spark$sql$catalyst$analysis$OverrideCatalog$$super$lookupRelation(HiveContext.scala:253) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.analysis.OverrideCatalog$$anonfun$lookupRelation$3.apply(Catalog.scala:141) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.analysis.OverrideCatalog$$anonfun$lookupRelation$3.apply(Catalog.scala:141) at scala.Option.getOrElse(Option.scala:120) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.analysis.OverrideCatalog$class.lookupRelation(Catalog.scala:141) at org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveContext$$anon$2.lookupRelation(HiveContext.scala:253) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.analysis.Analyzer$ResolveRelations$$anonfun$apply$5.applyOrElse(Analyzer.scala:143) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.analysis.Analyzer$ResolveRelations$$anonfun$apply$5.applyOrElse(Analyzer.scala:138) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.trees.TreeNode.transformDown(TreeNode.scala:144) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.trees.TreeNode$$anonfun$4.apply(TreeNode.scala:162) at scala.collection.Iterator$$anon$11.next(Iterator.scala:328) at scala.collection.Iterator$class.foreach(Iterator.scala:727) at scala.collection.AbstractIterator.foreach(Iterator.scala:1157) at scala.collection.generic.Growable$class.$plus$plus$eq(Growable.scala:48) at scala.collection.mutable.ArrayBuffer.$plus$plus$eq(ArrayBuffer.scala:103) at scala.collection.mutable.ArrayBuffer.$plus$plus$eq(ArrayBuffer.scala:47) at scala.collection.TraversableOnce$class.to(TraversableOnce.scala:273) at scala.collection.AbstractIterator.to(Iterator.scala:1157) at scala.collection.TraversableOnce$class.toBuffer(TraversableOnce.scala:265) at scala.collection.AbstractIterator.toBuffer(Iterator.scala:1157) at scala.collection.TraversableOnce$class.toArray(TraversableOnce.scala:252) at scala.collection.AbstractIterator.toArray(Iterator.scala:1157) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.trees.TreeNode.transformChildrenDown(TreeNode.scala:191) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.trees.TreeNode.transformDown(TreeNode.scala:147) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.trees.TreeNode.transform(TreeNode.scala:135) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.analysis.Analyzer$ResolveRelations$.apply(Analyzer.scala:138) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.analysis.Analyzer$ResolveRelations$.apply(Analyzer.scala:137) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.rules.RuleExecutor$$anonfun$apply$1$$anonfun$apply$2.apply(RuleExecutor.scala:61) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.rules.RuleExecutor$$anonfun$apply$1$$anonfun$apply$2.apply(RuleExecutor.scala:59) at scala.collection.LinearSeqOptimized$class.foldLeft(LinearSeqOptimized.scala:111) at scala.collection.immutable.List.foldLeft(List.scala:84) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.rules.RuleExecutor$$anonfun$apply$1.apply(RuleExecutor.scala:59) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.rules.RuleExecutor$$anonfun$apply$1.apply(RuleExecutor.scala:51) at scala.collection.immutable.List.foreach(List.scala:318) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.rules.RuleExecutor.apply(RuleExecutor.scala:51) at org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext$QueryExecution.analyzed$lzycompute(SQLContext.scala:411) at org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext$QueryExecution.analyzed(SQLContext.scala:411) at org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext$QueryExecution.withCachedData$lzycompute(SQLContext.scala:412) at org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext$QueryExecution.withCachedData(SQLContext.scala:412) at org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext$QueryExecution.optimizedPlan$lzycompute(SQLContext.scala:413) at org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext$QueryExecution.optimizedPlan(SQLContext.scala:413) at org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext$QueryExecution.sparkPlan$lzycompute(SQLContext.scala:418) at org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext$QueryExecution.sparkPlan(SQLContext.scala:416) at org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext$QueryExecution.executedPlan$lzycompute(SQLContext.scala:422) at org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext$QueryExecution.executedPlan(SQLContext.scala:422) at org.apache.spark.sql.SchemaRDD.collect(SchemaRDD.scala:444) at org.apache.spark.sql.api.java.JavaSchemaRDD.collect(JavaSchemaRDD.scala:114) at com.blackhorse.SparkTest.main(SparkTest.java:27) [delete Spark temp dirs] DEBUG org.apache.spark.util.Utils - Shutdown hook called [delete Spark local dirs] DEBUG org.apache.spark.storage.DiskBlockManager - Shutdown hook calle But if I change the query to "show tables", the program can run and got 0 rows through I have many tables inside Hive, so I come to doubt that my program or the spark instance did not connect to my Hive instance, maybe it started a local hive. I have put the hive-site.xml file from Hive installation into spark's conf directory. Can you help figure out what's wrong here, thanks.
