Hi,
  Question on using spark sql.
Can someone give an example for creating table from a directory containing parquet files in HDFS instead of an actual parquet file?

Thanks,
Ron

A few questions about caching a table in Spark SQL.

1) Is there any difference between caching the dataframe and the table?

df.cache() vs sqlContext.cacheTable("tableName")

2) Do you need to "warm up" the cache before seeing the performance benefits? Is the cache LRU? Do you need to run some queries on the table before it is cached in memory?

3) Is caching the table much faster than .saveAsTable? I am only seeing a 10 %- 20% performance increase.
