I am using spark1.6. I am creating hivecontext using spark context. When I save the data into hive it gives error. I am using cloudera vm. My hive is inside cloudera vm and spark in on my system. I can access the vm using IP. I have started the thrift server and hiveserver2 on vm. I have user thrift server uri for hive.metastore.uris
val hiveContext = new HiveContext(sc)
hiveContext.setConf("hive.metastore.uris", "thrift://IP:9083")
............
............
df.write.mode(SaveMode.Append).insertInto("test")
I get the following error:
FAILED: SemanticException java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.SessionHiveMetaStoreClient
Probably inside spark conf folder, hive-site.xml is not available , I have added the details below.
Adding hive-site.xml inside spark configuration folder.
creating a symlink which points to hive-site.xml in hive configuration folder.
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/hive/conf/hive-site.xml /usr/lib/spark/conf/hive-site.xml
after the above steps, restarting spark-shell should help.
