There are many ways of addressing this issue. Using Hbase with Phoenix adds another layer to the stack which is not necessary for handful of table and will add to cost (someone else has to know about Hbase, Phoenix etc. (BTW I would rather work directly on Hbase table. It is faster)
There may be say 100 new entries into this catalog table with multiple updates (not a single DML) to get hashtag right. sometimes it is an iterative process which results in many deltas. If that is needed done once a day or on demand, an alternative would be to insert overwrite the transactional hive table with deltas into a text table in Hive and present that one to Spark. This allows Spark to see the data. Remember if I use Hive to do the analytics/windowing, there is no issue. The issue is with Spark that neither Spark SQL or Spark shell can use that table. Sounds like an issue for Spark to resolve later. Another alternative one can leave the transactional table in RDBMS for this purpose and load it into DF through JDBC interface. It works fine and pretty fast. Again these are all workarounds. I discussed this in Hive forum. There should be a way" to manually compact a transactional table in Hive" (not possible now) and second point if Hive can see the data in Hive table, why not Spark?
