This is for Spark 2.0: If I wanted Hive support on a new SparkSession, I would build it with:
spark = SparkSession \ .builder \ .enableHiveSupport() \ .getOrCreate() However, PySpark already creates a SparkSession for me, which appears to lack HiveSupport. How can I either: (a) Add Hive support to an existing SparkSession, or (b) Configure PySpark so that the SparkSession it creates at startup has Hive support enabled? Thanks! Apu
