This is stand-alone spark cluster. My understanding is spark is an execution engine and not a storage layer. Spark processes data in memory but when someone refers to a spark table created through sparksql(df/rdd) what exactly are they referring to?
Could it be a Hive table? If yes, is it the same hive store that spark uses? Is it a table in memory? If yes, how can an external app Spark version with hadoop : spark-2.0.2-bin-hadoop2.7 Thanks and appreciate your help!! Ajay.
