Hello,
Riccardo I was able to make it run, the problem is that HiveContext doesn't
exists any more in Spark 2.0.2, as far I can see. But exists the method
enableHiveSupport to add the hive functionality to SparkSession. To enable
this the spark-hive_2.11 dependency is needed.
In the Spark API Docs this is not well explained, only says that SqlContext
and HiveContext are now part of SparkSession
"SparkSession is now the new entry point of Spark that replaces the old
SQLContext and HiveContext. Note that the old SQLContext and HiveContext
are kept for backward compatibility. A new catalog interface is accessible
from SparkSession - existing API on databases and tables access such as
listTables, createExternalTable, dropTempView, cacheTable are moved here."
I think would be a good idea document enableHiveSupport also.
Thanks,
