Spark-SQL and Hive - is Hive required?

2015-03-06 Thread Edmon Begoli
 Does Spark-SQL require installation of Hive for it to run correctly or not?

I could not tell from this statement:
https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html#compatibility-with-apache-hive

Thank you,
Edmon

Hi Edmon,

No, you do not need to install Hive to use Spark SQL.

Thanks,

Yin

Its not required, but even if you don't have hive installed you probably
still want to use the HiveContext.  From earlier in that doc:

In addition to the basic SQLContext, you can also create a HiveContext,
 which provides a superset of the functionality provided by the basic
 SQLContext. Additional features include the ability to write queries using
 the more complete HiveQL parser, access to HiveUDFs, and the ability to
 read data from Hive tables. To use a HiveContext, *you do not need to
 have an existing Hive setup*, and all of the data sources available to a
 SQLContext are still available. HiveContext is only packaged separately to
 avoid including all of Hive’s dependencies in the default Spark build. If
 these dependencies are not a problem for your application then using
 HiveContext is recommended for the 1.2 release of Spark. Future releases
 will focus on bringing SQLContext up to feature parity with a HiveContext.

Only if you want to configure the connection to an existing hive metastore.
