Hello Spark Users Group, I've just recently started working on tools that use Apache Spark. When I try WAITFOR in the spark-sql command line, I just get:
Error: Error running query: org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.parser.ParseException: mismatched input 'WAITFOR' expecting (.. list of allowed commands..) 1) Why is WAITFOR not allowed? Is there another way to get a process to sleep for a desired period of time? I'm trying to test a timeout issue and need to simulate a sleep behavior. 2) Is there documentation that outlines why WAITFOR is not supported? I did not find any good matches searching online. Thanks, Ram
