HI, 

TOOLS 

SPARK 1.5.2, HADOOP 2.6, HIVE 2.0, SPARK-SHELL, HIVE DATABASE 

OBJECTIVES: TIMING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RUNNING SPARK USING SQL AND
RUNNING SPARK USING FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMING (FP) (FUNCTIONAL CALLS) ON
HIVE TABLES 

UNDERLYING TABLES: THREE TABLES IN HIVE DATABASE USING ORC FORMAT 

The main differences in timings come from running the queries and
fetching data. If you look the transformation part that is 

val rs =
s.join(t,"time_id").join(c,"channel_id").groupBy("calendar_month_desc","channel_desc").agg(sum("amount_sold").as("TotalSales"))


Takes I second. On the other hand using SQL the query 1 takes 19 seconds
compared to just under 4 minutes for functional programming 

The seconds query using SQL takes 28 seconds. Using FP it takes around 4
minutes. 

These are my assumptions. 

        * Running SQL the full query is executed in Hive which means that Hive
can take advantage of ORC optimization/storage index etc?
        * Running FP requires that data is fetched from the underlying tables
in Hive and brought back to Spark cluster (standalone here) and the
joins etc are done there

The next step for me would be to: 

        * Look at the query plans in Spark
        * Run the same code on Hive alone and compare results

Any other suggestions are welcome.
