koert kuipers commented on SPARK-15034:
---------------------------------------

this just hit me today. i build spark 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT without hive support and 
launch spark-shell on yarn.
i get this error:
{noformat}
16/05/26 00:16:34 WARN datasources.DataSource: Error while looking for metadata 
directory.
org.apache.spark.SparkException: Unable to create database default as failed to 
create its directory 
hdfs://namenode:8020/usr/local/lib/spark-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT-bin-cdh5.4/spark-warehouse
{noformat}

why is spark trying to connect to a warehouse? i did not build with hive i 
think, unless i messed up the mvn flags...

also the weird thing about the path where it is trying to create 
spark-warehouse is that when i launched spark-shell my working-directory on 
local filesystem was /usr/local/lib/spark-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT-bin-cdh5.4, but 
somehow it seems to have turned that into a hdfs path and added spark-warehouse 
to it. it is unlikely such a path will exist.
maybe a better guess is to use the users home dir on hdfs, e.g. 
hdfs://user/<username>/spark-warehouse?

> Starting from Spark 2.0, spark.sql.warehouse.dir will be the conf to set 
> warehouse location. We will not use hive.metastore.warehouse.dir.
