Hi,
To order to let a local spark-shell connect to a remote spark stand-alone
cluster and access hive tables there, I must put the hive-site.xml file into
the local spark installation's conf path, but spark-shell even can't import the
default settings there, I found two errors:
<property>
<name>hive.metastore.client.connect.retry.delay</name>
<value>5s</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>hive.metastore.client.socket.timeout</name>
<value>1800s</value>
</property>
Spark-shell try to read 5s and 1800s and integers, they must be changed to 5
and 1800 to let spark-shell work, It's suggested to be fixed in future versions.
